John 4:31–38, NIV84

“Meanwhile his disciples urged him, ‘Rabbi, eat something.’

But He said to them, ‘I have food to eat that you know nothing about.’

Then His disciples said to each other, ‘Could someone have brought Him food?’ ‘My food,’

said Jesus, ‘is to do the will of Him who sent me and to finish His work. Do you not say, “Four months more and then the harvest?” I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop for eternal life, so that the

sower and the reaper may be glad together. Thus the saying “One sows and another reaps” is true. 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.’”
