## John 4:31-33 in Context (Verses 28–36 KJV)
 
 [28 ](/kjv/john/4/28) The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
 
 [29 ](/kjv/john/4/29) Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
 
 [30 ](/kjv/john/4/30) Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
 
 [31 ](/kjv/john/4/31) ¶ In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
 
 [32 ](/kjv/john/4/32) But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
 
 [33 ](/kjv/john/4/33) Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him *ought* to eat?
 
 [34 ](/kjv/john/4/34) Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
 
 [35 ](/kjv/john/4/35) Say not ye, There are yet four months, and *then* cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
 
 [36 ](/kjv/john/4/36) And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
