John 4:34-36
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of the one who sent me and to finish his work.(A) 35 Do you not say, ‘In four months[a] the harvest will be here’? I tell you, look up and see the fields ripe for the harvest.(B) 36 The reaper is already[b] receiving his payment and gathering crops for eternal life, so that the sower and reaper can rejoice together.(C)
