33. The disciples therefore said to one another, Has any one brought him anything to eat?

34. Jesus says to them, My food is that I should do the will of him that has sent me, and that I should finish his work.

35. Do not ye say, that there are yet four months and the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes and behold the fields, for they are already white to harvest.

36. He that reaps receives wages and gathers fruit unto life eternal, that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together.

37. For in this is verified the true saying, It is one who sows and another who reaps.

38. I have sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured; others have laboured, and ye have entered into their labours.

39. But many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him because of the word of the woman who bore witness, He told me all things that I had ever done.

40. When therefore the Samaritans came to him they asked him to abide with them, and he abode there two days.

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

42. and they said to the woman, It is no longer on account of thy saying that we believe, for we have heard him ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.

43. But after the two days he went forth thence and went away into Galilee,

44. for Jesus himself bore witness that a prophet has no honour in his own country.
