John 4:32 - Forerunner Commentary

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.

37 For in this the saying is true: ^a‘One sows and another reaps.’

38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; ^aothers have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”

The Savior of the World

39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him ^abecause of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all that I ever did.”

40 So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
