John 4:35-38

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.”
