32. But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you know nothing about."
33. Then his disciples asked each other, "Did someone bring him food?"
34. Jesus said, "My food is to do what my Father sent me to do. My food is to finish his work.
35. "You say, 'Four months more, and then it will be harvest time.' But I tell you, open your eyes! Look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest right now.
36. Those who gather the crop are already getting paid. They are already harvesting the crop for eternal life. So those who plant and those who gather can now be glad together.
37. "Here is a true saying. 'One plants and another gathers.'
38. I sent you to gather what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work. You have gathered the benefits of their work."
39. Many of the Samaritans from the town of Sychar believed in Jesus. They believed because of the woman's witness. She said, "He told me everything I've ever done."
40. Then the Samaritans came to him and tried to get him to stay with them. So he stayed two days.
41. Because of his words, many more people became believers.
42. They said to the woman, "We no longer believe just because of what you said. We have now heard for ourselves. We know that this man really is the Savior of the world."
43. After the two days, Jesus left for Galilee.
44. He himself had pointed out that a prophet is not respected in his own country.
45. When he arrived in Galilee, the people living there welcomed him. They had seen everything he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast. That was because they had also been there.
46. Once more, Jesus visited Cana in Galilee. Cana is where he had turned the water into wine. A royal official was there. His son was sick in bed at Capernaum.
47. The official heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea. So he went to Jesus and begged him to come and heal his son. The boy was close to death.
48. Jesus told him, "You people will never believe unless you see miraculous signs and wonders."
