Yochanan 4:33-39 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

33. Therefore, Moshiach's talmidim were saying to one another, Surely no one brought him anything to eat?

34. Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, My okhel (food) is that I may do the ratzon (will) of the One having sent me and may complete ma'aseh HaElohim [his work, KOHELET 11:5].

35. Do not say, Yet arba'ah chodashim (four months) and then comes the katzir (harvest). Hinei, I say to you, Lift up your eyes and see the sadot (fields) that they are white for the katzir (harvest).

36. The one harvesting receives wages and gathers p'ri (fruit) unto Chayyei Olam, that the one sowing and the other one harvesting may have simcha together.

37. For in this the saying is true, One sows and another reaps. [Job 31: 8; Mic 6:15]

38. I sent you to harvest that upon which you have not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their labor.

39. And from that city of Shomron many had emunah in him, because of the solemn dvar of the isha giving edut: He told me everything I have ever done.
