4:27 當下門徒回來，就希奇耶穌和一個婦人說話；只是沒有人說：「你是要甚麼？」或說：「你為甚麼和她說話？」
4:28 那婦人就留下水罐子，往城裡去，對眾人說：
4:29 「你們來看！有一個人將我素來所行的一切事都給我說出來了，莫非這就是基督嗎？」
4:30 眾人就出城，往耶穌那裡去。
4:31 這其間，門徒對耶穌說：「拉比，請吃。」
4:32 耶穌說：「我有食物吃，是你們不知道的。」
4:33 門徒就彼此對問說：「莫非有人拿甚麼給他吃嗎？」
4:34 耶穌說：「我的食物就是遵行差我來者的旨意，做成他的工。
4:35 你們豈不說『到收割的時候還有四個月』嗎？我告訴你們，舉目向田觀看，莊稼已經熟了（原文是發白），可以收割了。
4:36 收割的人得工價，積蓄五穀到永生，叫撒種的和收割的一同快樂。
4:37 俗語說：『那人撒種，這人收割』，這話可見是真的。
4:38 我差你們去收你們所沒有勞苦的；別人勞苦，你們享受他們所勞苦的。」
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.”

主耶穌在這裡教導門徒：「我的食物就是遵行差我來者的旨意，做成他的工。」
我們若沒有用這樣的心態服事，我們常常是為了肚腹來服事，弄錯了服事的目的，以至於不能體貼聖靈的心意，反而聽貼肉體的需要。以因為這樣，怕得罪人而不敢說該說的話，一味討好人！這樣的作法，就像古時以色列的假先知，不是說上帝要他們說的話，而是說人喜歡聽的話！
今日有許多教會只看虛假的數目，認為教會的人數和奉獻很多，就是教會很興旺！其實主耶穌要的教會不是虛假的數字，而是實際生命的更新，也因此上帝的話語再叫輝的宣講是很重要的！
