John 4:35-41 in English

³⁵ Say 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.

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

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

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

³⁹ And 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.

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

⁴¹ And many more believed because of his word;

³⁵ Don’t you say, ‘It’s still four months until the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.

³⁶ He who harvests is already receiving wages, and is gathering fruit for eternal life, so that he who plants and he who harvests may rejoice together.

³⁷ Thus the saying ‘One plants and another harvests’ is true.

³⁸ I sent you to harvest that for which you didn’t labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”

³⁹ Many Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything that I ever did.”

⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans arrived, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed there two days.

⁴¹ Many more believed because of His words.

³⁵ 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.

³⁶ And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

³⁷ And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

³⁸ I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

³⁹ 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.

⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

⁴¹ And many more believed because of his word;

³⁵ At this time of the year you are saying (OR, your ancestors used to say), ‘There are four months left before we harvest the crops.’ But I say to you, look carefully at the non-Jewish people around here. God says, ‘They are ready to accept my message MET, like crops in fields that are ready for people to harvest.

³⁶ If you help them to accept my message, I will reward you MET, as an owner of a field pays those who harvest the crops. Because of your work, people will gain eternal life.’ I have been telling people God's message. That is like MET a man who plants seeds. You will help people to accept my message. That will be like MET harvesting crops. When that happens, both you and I will rejoice.

³⁷ As a result, this saying will become true: One person plants seeds, but others harvest the crops.

³⁸ I am sending you to enable people to accept my message, but you will not be the first ones who tell them God's message. Others previously worked hard to tell people God's message, and now you will be harvesting the results of their work.”

³⁹ Many of the Samaria district people who lived in that town believed that Jesus was the Messiah because they heard what that woman said about Jesus, “That man was able to tell me all about my past life HYP!”

⁴⁰ So when those people of Samaria came to Jesus, they urged him to stay with them. So we stayed there two days.

⁴¹ Many more of those people believed ◄ in Jesus/that he was the Messiah► because of what he said.

⁴¹ Many more believed because of his word.

³⁵ You would say, Four months from now is the time of the grain-cutting. Take a look, I say to you, at the fields; they are even now white for cutting.

³⁶ He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together.

³⁷ In this the saying is a true one, One does the planting, and another gets in the grain.

³⁸ I sent you to get in grain which you had no hand in planting: other men did that work, and you take the reward.

³⁹ Now a number of the people of that town had faith in him because of the woman's witness: He has been talking to me of everything I ever did.

⁴⁰ So when the people came to him they made request to him to be among them for a time, and he was there two days.

⁴¹ And a great number more of them came to have faith in him because of what he himself said.

⁴¹ And more a great deal believed on account of his word;

³⁵ Do you not say, There are yet four months, and then the harvest cometh? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the countries; for they are white already to harvest.

³⁶ And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life everlasting: that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, may rejoice together.

³⁷ For in this is the saying true: That it is one man that soweth, and it is another that reapeth.

³⁸ I have sent you to reap that in which you did not labour: others have laboured, and you have entered into their labours.

³⁹ Now of that city many of the Samaritans believed in him, for the word of the woman giving testimony: He told me all things whatsoever I have done.

⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired that he would tarry there. And he abode there two days.

⁴¹ And many more believed in him because of his own word.

³⁵ Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and the harvest comes’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and see the fields, for they are already white for harvest!

³⁷ Now the saying, ‘One is the sower and another the reaper,’ is true in this:

³⁸ I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their labors.”

³⁹ Now many of the Samaritans from that city believed into Him because of the word of the woman, testifying that “He told me everything I ever did!”

⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans came to Him they urged Him to stay with them; and He did stay there two days.

⁴¹ Many more believed through His own word,

³⁵ Don'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.

³⁶ The reaper is being paid and harvesting a crop for eternal life so that both the sower and the reaper can celebrate.

³⁷ So the proverb ‘one sows, another reaps,’ is true.

³⁸ I sent you to reap what you didn't work for. Others did the hard work and you have reaped the benefits of what they did.”

³⁹ Many Samaritans from that town trusted in him because of what the woman said: “He told me everything I ever did.”

⁴⁰ So when they came to see him they pleaded with him to stay with them. He stayed for two days,

⁴¹ and because of what he told them many more trusted in him.
