`The sower is one person, and the reaper is another.'
004:038 I sent you to reap a harvest which is not the result of your own labours. Others have laboured, and you are getting benefit from their labours." 004:039 Of the Samaritan population of that town a good many believed in Him because of the woman's statement when she declared, "He has told me all that I have ever done." 004:040 When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. 004:041 Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words, 004:042 and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe in Him simply because of your statements; for we have now heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Saviour of the world." 004:043 After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee; 004:044 though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country. 004:045 When however He reached Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed Him eagerly, having been eye-witnesses of all that He had done in Jerusalem at the Festival; for they also had been to the Festival. 004:046 So He came once more to Cana in Galilee, where He had made the water into wine. Now there was a certain officer of the King's court whose son was ill at Capernaum. 004:047 Having heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee, he came to Him and begged Him to go down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death. 004:048 "Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe." 004:049 "Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies." |
