Scripture Reading<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

JOHN 4: 27\u00a0<\/sup>And at this point<\/em> His disciples came, and they marveled that He talked with a woman; yet no one said, \u201cWhat do You seek?\u201d or, \u201cWhy are You talking with her?\u201d28\u00a0<\/sup>The woman then left her waterpot, went her way into the city, and said to the men, 29\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cCome, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?\u201d 30\u00a0<\/sup>Then they went out of the city and came to Him. 31\u00a0<\/sup>In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, \u201cRabbi, eat.\u201d \u00a032\u00a0<\/sup>But He said to them, \u201cI have food to eat of which you do not know.\u201d 33\u00a0<\/sup>Therefore the disciples said to one another, \u201cHas anyone brought Him anything<\/em> to eat?\u201d34\u00a0<\/sup>Jesus said to them, \u201cMy food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. 35\u00a0<\/sup>Do you not say, \u2018There are still four months and then<\/em> comes the harvest\u2019? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! 36\u00a0<\/sup>And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37\u00a0<\/sup>For in this the saying is true: \u2018One sows and another reaps.\u2019 38\u00a0<\/sup>I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.\u201d<\/p>\n
