Behold, I say vnto you, Lift vp your eyes, and looke on the fields: for they are white already to haruest. 36And hee that reapeth receiueth wages, and gathereth fruite vnto life eternall: that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, may reioyce together. 37And herein is that saying true: One soweth, and another reapeth.

People's Bible Notes for John 4:35
Joh 4:35 There are yet four months, and [then] cometh the harvest. Harvest began about the middle of April in Palestine. The time when the Savior spoke would then be about the middle of December. But the harvest of souls was ripe already. Lift up your eyes. No doubt he pointed to the Samaritans now flocking out to see him. See Joh 4:39.
