The Urgent Call to Harvest

27

At this, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”

28

So the woman left her water pot, and went away into the city, and said to the people,

29

“Come, see a man who told me everything that I did. Can this be the Messiah?”

30

They went out of the city, and were coming to him.

31

In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”

32

But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”

33

The disciples therefore said one to another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”

34

Yeshua said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.

35

Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest?’ Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.

36

He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to eternal life; that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

37

For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’

38

I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
