35 You may say that there are still four months until harvest time. But I tell you to look, and you will see that the fields are ripe and ready to harvest.
36 Even now the harvest workers are receiving their reward by gathering a harvest that brings eternal life. Then everyone who planted the seed and everyone who harvests the crop will celebrate together.
37 So the saying proves true, “Some plant the seed, and others harvest the crop.”
38 I am sending you to harvest crops in fields where others have done all the hard work.

41 Many more Samaritans put their faith in Jesus because of what they heard him say.
