The Father seeks such people to
worship Him. God is a Spirit. Those who worship Him must worship Him in
spirit and in truth.
The woman said to Him, I know that a Messiah comes who is called
Christ. When He comes He will tell us all things. Jesus said to her, I
am He who is speaking with you. At this time His disciples came back.
They marvelled that He talked with the woman. Yet no one asked, Why do
you talk to her?
The woman then left her waterpot and went on her way. When she was back
in the city she said, Come, see a man who told me all the things I have
ever done. Is not this the Christ? Then the people left the city and
came to Him.
Meanwhile His disciples said, Master, eat. But Jesus said to them, I
have food to eat that you know not of. At this, the disciples
questioned eachother, has any man brought Him something to eat? Jesus
said to them, my food is to do the will of Him who sent me and to
complete His work. Do you not say, There are still four months until
the harvest? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes and look on the
fields. They are ready to harvest right now. He who reaps now receives
wages and gathers fruit for life eternal, so that both he who sows and
he who reaps may rejoice together. Herein is the truth of the saying:
One sows and another reaps. I sent you to reap where you have not
toiled.
