27. And upon this His taught ones came, and they were marvelling that He was speaking with a woman, however, no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why do You speak with her?”
28. The woman then left her water-jug, and went away to the city, and said to the men,
29. “Come, see a Man who told me all that I have done. Is this not the Messiah?”
30. They went out of the city and were coming to Him.
31. But in the meantime His taught ones were asking Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
32. And He said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.”
33. Then the taught ones said to each other, “Did anyone bring Him food to eat?”
34. יהושע said to them, “My food is to do the desire of Him who sent Me, and to accomplish His work.
35. “Do you not say, ‘There are still four months, and the harvest comes’? See, I say to you, lift up your eyes and see the fields, for they are white for harvest – already!
36. “He who is reaping receives a reward, and gathers fruit for everlasting life, so that both he who is sowing and he who is reaping rejoice together.
37. “For in this the word is true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’
38. “I sent you to reap that for which you have not laboured. Others have laboured, and you have entered into their labours.”
39. And many of the Shomeronites of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who witnessed, “He told me all that I have done.”
40. Therefore when the Shomeronites came to Him, they were asking Him to stay with them, and He stayed there two days.
