The Urgent Call to Harvest

27

And upon this came his disciples, and were wondering that with a woman he was speaking, no one, however, said, `What seekest thou?' or `Why speakest thou with her?'

28

The woman then left her water-jug, and went away to the city, and saith to the men,

29

`Come, see a man, who told me all things--as many as I did; is this the Christ?'

30

They went forth therefore out of the city, and were coming unto him.

31

And in the meanwhile his disciples were asking him, saying, `Rabbi, eat;'

32

and he said to them, `I have food to eat that ye have not known.'

33

The disciples then said one to another, `Did any one bring him anything to eat?'

34

Jesus saith to them, `My food is, that I may do the will of Him who sent me, and may finish His work;

35

do not say that it is yet four months, and the harvest cometh; lo, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and see the fields, that they are white unto harvest already.

36

`And he who is reaping doth receive a reward, and doth gather fruit to life age-during, that both he who is sowing and he who is reaping may rejoice together;

37

for in this the saying is the true one, that one is the sower and another the reaper.

38

I sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured; others laboured, and ye into their labour have entered.
