4:27

Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?"  

4:28

Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people,

4:29

"Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?"

4:30

They came out of the town and made their way toward him.

4:31

Meanwhile his disciples urged him, "Rabbi, eat something."

4:32

But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you know nothing about."  

4:33

Then his disciples said to each other, "Could someone have brought him food?"  

4:34

"My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.

4:35

Do you not say, 'Four months more and then the harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.

4:36

Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.

4:37

Thus the saying 'One sows and another reaps' is true.

4:38

I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor."

4:39

Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me everything I ever did."  

3:3

In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."

1:8

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem , and in all Judea and Samaria , and to the ends of the earth."

8:10b

for the joy of the LORD is your strength.

14:15

"If you love me, you will obey what I command.

3:1

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

3:2

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

13:30

Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.' "  

13:37

He answered, "The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man.

13:38

The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,

13:39

and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.  

13:40

"As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.

13:41

The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.

13:42

They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

13:43

Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

126:5

Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.

126:6

He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him.

5:7

Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains.

25:21

"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'
