John 4:24-35

²⁴God is Spirit, so worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”

²⁵The woman said, “Well, I know that the Messiah is coming,” (the one who is called Christ). “When he comes he will explain it all to us.”

²⁶Jesus replied, “I AM—the one who is speaking to you.”

²⁷Just then the disciples returned. They were shocked that he was talking to a woman, but none of them asked “What are you doing?” or “Why are you talking with her?”

²⁸The woman left her water jar behind and ran back to the town, telling the people,

²⁹“Come and meet a man who told me everything I ever did! Could this be the Messiah?”

³⁰So they went out of the town to go and see him.

³¹Meanwhile Jesus' disciples were urging him, “Rabbi, please eat something!”

³²But Jesus replied, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

³³“Did someone bring him food?” the disciples asked one another.

³⁴Jesus told them, “My food is to do the will of the one who sent me, and to complete his work.

³⁵Don't you have a saying, ‘four more months until harvest?’ Open your eyes and look around! The crops in the fields are ripe, ready for harvest.
