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."
