John 4:34-38

New International Version

³⁴ “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will^(A) of him who sent me and to finish his work.^{(B) 35} Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.^{(C) 36} Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests^(D) a crop for eternal life,^(E) so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. ³⁷ Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’^(F) is true. ³⁸ 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.”
