「我的食物就是遵行差我来者的旨意，作成他的工。」（34节）

经文
约翰福音四27-42

27当下门徒回来，就希奇耶稣和一个妇人说话；只是没有人说：你是要甚么？或说：你为甚么和他说话？

28那妇人就留下水罐子，往城里去，对众人说：

29你们来看！有一个人将我素来所行的一切事都给我说出来了，莫非这就是基督吗？

30众人就出城，往耶稣那里去。

31这其间，门徒对耶稣说：拉比，请吃。

32耶稣说：我有食物吃，是你们不知道的。

33门徒就彼此对问说：莫非有人拿甚么给他吃吗？

34耶稣说：我的食物就是遵行差我来者的旨意，作成他的工。

35你们岂不说到收割的时候还有四个月吗？我告诉你们，举目向田观看，庄稼已经熟了（原文是发白），可以收割了。

36收割的人得工价，积蓄五谷到永生，叫撒种的和收割的一同快乐。

37俗语说：那人撒种，这人收割，这话可见是真的。

38我差你们去收你们所没有劳苦的；别人劳苦，你们享受他们所劳苦的。

39那城里有好些撒玛利亚人信了耶稣，因为那妇人作见证说：他将我素来所行的一切事都给我说出来了。

40于是撒玛利亚人来见耶稣，求他在他们那里住下，他便在那里住了两天。

41因耶稣的话，信的人就更多了，

42便对妇人说：现在我们信，不是因为你的话，是我们亲自听见了，知道这真是救世主。

"My food...is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work." (v.34)

Bible reading:
John 4:27-42

27 Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?"

28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people,

29 "Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?"

30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him.

31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, "Rabbi, eat something."

32 But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you know nothing about."

33 Then his disciples said to each other, "Could someone have brought him food?"

34 "My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.

35 Don't you have a saying, 'It's still four months until harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.

36 Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.

37 Thus the saying 'One sows and another reaps' is true.

38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor."

39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me everything I ever did."

40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days.

41 And because of his words many more became believers.

42 They said to the woman, "We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world."
