When he comes,&nbsp;he will tell us all things.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>26&nbsp;<\/sup>Jesus said to her,&nbsp;\u201cI who speak to you am he.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>27&nbsp;<\/sup>Just then&nbsp;his disciples came back. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, \u201cWhat do you seek?\u201d or, \u201cWhy are you talking with her?\u201d&nbsp;<sup>28&nbsp;<\/sup>So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people,&nbsp;<sup>29&nbsp;<\/sup>\u201cCome, see a man&nbsp;who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?\u201d&nbsp;<sup>30&nbsp;<\/sup>They went out of the town and were coming to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>31&nbsp;<\/sup>Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, saying,&nbsp;\u201cRabbi, eat.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>32&nbsp;<\/sup>But he said to them,&nbsp;\u201cI have food to eat that you do not know about.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>33&nbsp;<\/sup>So the disciples said to one another,&nbsp;\u201cHas anyone brought him something to eat?\u201d&nbsp;<sup>34&nbsp;<\/sup>Jesus said to them,&nbsp;\u201cMy food is&nbsp;to do the will of him who sent me and&nbsp;to accomplish his work.&nbsp;<sup>35&nbsp;<\/sup>Do you not say, \u2018There are yet four months, then comes the harvest\u2019? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that&nbsp;the fields are white for harvest.&nbsp;<sup>36&nbsp;<\/sup>Already&nbsp;the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that&nbsp;sower and&nbsp;reaper&nbsp;may rejoice together.&nbsp;<sup>37&nbsp;<\/sup>For here the saying holds true,&nbsp;\u2018One sows and another reaps.\u2019&nbsp;<sup>38&nbsp;<\/sup>I sent you to reap&nbsp;that for which you did not labor. Others have labored,&nbsp;and you have entered into their labor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>39&nbsp;<\/sup>Many Samaritans&nbsp;from that town believed in him&nbsp;because of&nbsp;the woman&#8217;s testimony, \u201cHe told me all that I ever did.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>40&nbsp;<\/sup>So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.&nbsp;<sup>41&nbsp;<\/sup>And many more believed&nbsp;because of his word.&nbsp;<sup>42&nbsp;<\/sup>They said to the woman, \u201cIt is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves,&nbsp;and we know that this is indeed&nbsp;the Savior&nbsp;of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>43&nbsp;<\/sup>After&nbsp;the two days he departed for Galilee.&nbsp;<sup>44&nbsp;<\/sup>(For Jesus himself had testified&nbsp;that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.)&nbsp;<sup>45&nbsp;<\/sup>So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him,&nbsp;having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast.
