“In the mean while the disciples prayed Him, saying, Rabbi, eat. But
He said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not. The
disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought Him
aught to eat? Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of
Him that sent Me, and to accomplish His work. Say not ye, There are
yet four months, and then cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto
you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white
already unto harvest. He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth
fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth may
rejoice together. For herein is the saying true, One soweth and
another reapeth. I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not
laboured: others have laboured, and ye are entered into their
labour. And from that city many of the Samaritans believed on Him
because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all
things that ever I did. So when the Samaritans came unto Him, they
besought Him to abide with them: and He abode there two days. And
many more believed because of His word; and they said to the woman,
Now we believe, not because of thy speaking: for we have heard for
ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.
And after the two days He went forth from thence into Galilee. For
Jesus Himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own
country. So when He came into Galilee, the Galilæans received Him,
having seen all the things that He did in Jerusalem at the feast:
for they also went unto the feast. He came therefore again unto Cana
of Galilee, where He made the water wine. And there was a certain
nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus
was come out of Judæa into Galilee, he went unto Him, and besought
Him that He would come down, and heal his son; for he was at the
point of death. Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs
and wonders, ye will in no wise believe. The nobleman saith unto
Him, Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus saith unto him, Go thy
way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spake unto
him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants
met him, saying, that his son lived. So he inquired of them the hour
when he began to amend. They said therefore unto him, Yesterday at
the seventh hour the fever left him. So the father knew that it was
at that hour in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and
himself believed, and his whole house. This is again the second sign
that Jesus did, having come out of Judæa into Galilee”—JOHN iv.
31–54.
