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. 38I sent you to reape that, whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and yee are entred into their labours.
