John 4:34-36

Context
4:34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of the one who sent me¹ and to complete² his work.³ 4:35 Don’t you say,⁴ ‘There are four more months and then comes the harvest?’ I tell you, look up⁵ and see that the fields are already white⁶ for harvest! 4:36 The one who reaps receives pay⁷ and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that the one who sows and the one who reaps can rejoice together.

[4:34] ¹sn The one who sent me refers to the Father.

[4:34] ²tn Or “to accomplish.”

[4:34] ³tn The substantival ἵνα (Jina) clause has been translated as an English infinitive clause.

[4:35] ⁴tn The recitative ὅτι (Joti) after λέγετε (legete) has not been translated.

[4:35] ⁵tn Grk “lift up your eyes” (an idiom). BDAG 357 s.v. ἐπαίρω 1 has “look up” here.

[4:35] ⁶tn That is, “ripe.”

[4:36] ⁷tn Or “a reward”; see L&N 38.14 and 57.173. This is something of a wordplay.
