004:024 God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship." 004:025 "I know," replied the woman, "that Messiah is coming--`the Christ,' as He is called. When He has come, He will tell us everything." 004:026 "I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you." 004:027 Just then His disciples came, and were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. Yet not one of them asked Him, "What is your wish?" or "Why are you talking with her?" 004:028 The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people. 004:029 "Come," she said, "and see a man who has told me everything I have ever done. Can this be the Christ, do you think?" 004:030 They left the town and set out to go to Him. 004:031 Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something." 004:032 "I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know." 004:033 So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?" 004:034 "My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work. 004:035 Do you not say, `It wants four months yet to the harvest'? But look round, I tell you, and observe these plains-- they are already ripe for the sickle. 004:036 The reaper gets pay and gathers in a crop in preparation for the Life of the Ages, that so the sower and the reapers may rejoice together. 004:037 For it is in this that you see the real meaning of the saying, `The sower is one person, and the reaper is another.' 004:038 I sent you to reap a harvest which is not the result of your own labours. Others have laboured, and you are getting benefit from their labours." 004:039 Of the Samaritan population of that town a good many believed in Him because of the woman's statement when she declared, "He has told me all that I have ever done." 004:040 When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. 004:041 Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words, 004:042 and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe in Him simply because of your statements; for we have now heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Saviour of the world." 004:043 After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee; 004:044 though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country. 004:045 When however He reached Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed Him eagerly, having been eye-witnesses of all that He had done in Jerusalem at the Festival; for they also had been to the Festival.
