Yochanan 4:30-36 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

30. They came out of the city and were coming to him.

31. Divaile (meanwhile), Moshiach's talmidim were asking him, Rebbe, eat.

32. But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, I have okhel (food) to eat [IYOV 23:12] of which you have no da'as.

33. Therefore, Moshiach's talmidim were saying to one another, Surely no one brought him anything to eat?

34. Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, My okhel (food) is that I may do the ratzon (will) of the One having sent me and may complete ma'aseh HaElohim [his work, KOHELET 11:5].

35. Do not say, Yet arba'ah chodashim (four months) and then comes the katzir (harvest). Hinei, I say to you, Lift up your eyes and see the sadot (fields) that they are white for the katzir (harvest).

36. The one harvesting receives wages and gathers p'ri (fruit) unto Chayyei Olam, that the one sowing and the other one harvesting may have simcha together.
