35 "You say, 'Four months more, and then it will be harvest time.' But I tell you, open your eyes! Look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest right now.
36 Those who gather the crop are already getting paid. They are already harvesting the crop for eternal life. So those who plant and those who gather can now be glad together.
37 "Here is a true saying. 'One plants and another gathers.'
38 I sent you to gather what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work. You have gathered the benefits of their work."
39 Many of the Samaritans from the town of Sychar believed in Jesus. They believed because of the woman's witness. She said, "He told me everything I've ever done."
40 Then the Samaritans came to him and tried to get him to stay with them. So he stayed two days.
41 Because of his words, many more people became believers.
