JOHN 4:25-43

²⁵The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (which is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto us all things.

²⁶Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

²⁷And upon this came his disciples; and they marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?

²⁸So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the men,

²⁹Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: can this be the Christ?

³⁰They went out of the city, and were coming to him.

³¹In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.

³²But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not.

³³The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him aught to eat?

³⁴Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.

³⁵Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already unto harvest.

³⁶He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

³⁷For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

³⁸I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not laboured: others have laboured, and ye are entered into their labour.

³⁹And from that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all things that ever I did.

⁴⁰So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there two days.

⁴¹And many more believed because of his word;

⁴²and they said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.

⁴³And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee.
