29. “Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done! Could he be the Messiah?”
30. Everyone in town went out to see Jesus.
31. While this was happening, Jesus' disciples were saying to him, “Teacher, please eat something.”
32. But Jesus told them, “I have food that you don't know anything about.”
33. His disciples started asking each other, “Has someone brought him something to eat?”
34. Jesus said:My food is to do what God wants! He is the one who sent me, and I must finish the work that he gave me to do.
35. You may say that there are still four months until harvest time. But I tell you to look, and you will see that the fields are ripe and ready to harvest.
36. Even now the harvest workers are receiving their reward by gathering a harvest that brings eternal life. Then everyone who planted the seed and everyone who harvests the crop will celebrate together.
37. So the saying proves true, “Some plant the seed, and others harvest the crop.”
38. I am sending you to harvest crops in fields where others have done all the hard work.
39. A lot of Samaritans in that town put their faith in Jesus because the woman had said, “This man told me everything I have ever done.”
40. They came and asked him to stay in their town, and he stayed on for two days.
41. Many more Samaritans put their faith in Jesus because of what they heard him say.
42. They told the woman, “We no longer have faith in Jesus just because of what you told us. We have heard him ourselves, and we are certain that he is the Saviour of the world!”
43-44. Jesus had said, “Prophets are honoured everywhere, except in their own country.” Then two days later he left
45. and went to Galilee. The people there welcomed him, because they had gone to the festival in Jerusalem and had seen everything he had done.
46. While Jesus was in Galilee, he returned to the village of Cana, where he had turned the water into wine. There was an official in Capernaum whose son was sick.
47. And when the man heard that Jesus had come from Judea, he went and begged him to keep his son from dying.
