- At this point His disciples came, and they were amazed that He had been speaking with a woman, yet no one said, "What do You seek?" or, "Why do You speak with her?"
- So the woman left her waterpot, and went into the city and said to the men,
- "Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done; this is not the Christ, is it?"
- They went out of the city, and were coming to Him.
- Meanwhile the disciples were urging Him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."
|
- And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
- The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
- Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
- Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
- In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
|
- But He said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know about."
- So the disciples were saying to one another, "No one brought Him anything to eat, did he?"
- Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work.
- "Do you not say, 'There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest.
- "Already he who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for life eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.
|
- But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
- Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
- Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
- Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
- And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
|
- "For in this case the saying is true, 'One sows and another reaps.'
- "I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their labor."
- From that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me all the things that I have done."
- So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they were asking Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
- Many more believed because of His word;
|
- And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
- I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
- And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
- So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
- And many more believed because of his own word;
|
- and they were saying to the woman, "It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is indeed the Savior of the world."
|
- And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
