John 4:34-38
34
“My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.
35
Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.
36
Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.
37
Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.
38
I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”
