he Christ?"

They went out of the city, and were coming to him.

In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."

But he said unto them, "I have meat to eat that ye know not."

The disciples therefore said one to another, "Hath any man brought him
aught to eat?"

Jesus saith unto them, "My meat is to do the will of him that sent me,
and to accomplish his work. Say not ye, 'There are yet four months,
and then cometh the harvest'? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your
eyes and look on the fields, that they are white already unto harvest.
He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life
eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. I sent

ye are entered into their labor."

And from that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of
the word of the woman, who testified, "He told me all things that ever

his word; and they said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of
thy speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is
indeed the Saviour of the world."

to have thy brother's wife."

And Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him: and she
could not; for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and
holy man, and kept him safe.

And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude,
because they counted him as a prophet.

RECEPTION OF JESUS BY THE GALILAEANS.

Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he returned in the
power of the Spirit into Galilee, and the Galilaeans received him,
having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for
they also went unto the feast.

And a fame went out concerning him through all the region round about.
And he taught in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of God, and
saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of G
