John 4:28-36 Good News Bible (GNB)

28. Then the woman left her water jar, went back to the town, and said to the people there,

29. “Come and see the man who told me everything I have ever done. Could he be the Messiah?”

30. So they left the town and went to Jesus.

31. In the meantime the disciples were begging Jesus, “Teacher, have something to eat!”

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

33. So the disciples started asking among themselves, “Could somebody have brought him food?”

34. “My food,” Jesus said to them, “is to obey the will of the one who sent me and to finish the work he gave me to do.

35. You have a saying, ‘Four more months and then the harvest.’ But I tell you, take a good look at the fields; the crops are now ripe and ready to be harvested!

36. The one who reaps the harvest is being paid and gathers the crops for eternal life; so another who sows and the one who reaps will be glad together.
