John 4:26-36

²⁶Jesus says to her, “I am He, the one who is talking with you!”

²⁷At that point His disciples arrived, and they were amazed that He was talking with a woman; yet no one said, “What do you want?” or “Why are You talking with her?”

²⁸So the woman left her water jar, went her way into the town, and says to the men:

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

³⁰So out they went from the town and started toward Him.

³¹Now in the meantime the disciples were urging Him saying, “Rabbi, eat.”

³²But He said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”

³³So the disciples started saying to one another, “Could someone have brought Him something to eat?”

³⁴Jesus says to them: “My food is to do the will of Him who sent me and to complete His work.

³⁵Do you not say, ‘There are four months before the harvest comes?’ Well I say, Look! Lift your eyes and observe the fields; they are white for harvest already!

³⁶Now he who reaps receives pay and gathers fruit into eternal life, so that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.
