John 4:32

John 4:32

30 Then they went out of the city and came to Him.

31 In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”

32 But He said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.”

33 Therefore the disciples said to one another, “Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?”

34 Jesus said to them, ^a“My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to ^bfinish His work.

35 Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes ^athe harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, ^bfor they are already white for harvest!

36 ^aAnd he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that ^bboth he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

<< John 4:31

John 4:33 >>

I have meat to eat that ye know not of - Our blessed Lord seizes every opportunity to raise the minds of his apostles to heavenly things, through the medium of earthly matters. Nor does he force these things into such service. Properly understood, earthly substances are the types, representatives, and shadows of heavenly things.
