30. So the people left the town and went to see Jesus.
31. Meanwhile, his followers were begging him, “Teacher, eat something.”
32. But Jesus answered, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
33. So the followers asked themselves, “Did somebody already bring him food?”
34. Jesus said, “My food is to do what the One who sent me wants me to do and to finish his work.
35. You have a saying, ‘Four more months till harvest.’ But I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields ready for harvest now.
36. Already, the one who harvests is being paid and is gathering crops for eternal life. So the one who plants and the one who harvests celebrate at the same time.
37. Here the saying is true, ‘One person plants, and another harvests.’
38. I sent you to harvest a crop that you did not work on. Others did the work, and you get to finish up their work.”
39. Many of the Samaritans in that town believed in Jesus because of what the woman said: “He told me everything I ever did.”
40. When the Samaritans came to Jesus, they begged him to stay with them, so he stayed there two more days.
