35Say not ye, There are yet foure moneths, and then commeth haruest? 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. 39¶ And many of the Samaritanes of that citie beleeued on him, for the saying of the woman, which testified, Hee told me all that euer I did.
