³⁴Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.

³⁵Do you not say, ‘There are still four months until the harvest’? I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are ripe for harvest.

          36Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.
          37For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.
          38I sent you to reap what you have not worked for; others have done the hard work, and now you have taken up their labor.”
