New King James Version NKJV
New International Version NIV
35 Do you not say, 'There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!
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 And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.
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 For in this the saying is true: 'One sows and another reaps.'
37
Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.
38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors."
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.”
