Rejoining Jesus
At this, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, "What are you looking for?" or, "Why do you speak with her?" So the woman left her water pot, and went away into the city, and said to the people, "Come, see a man who told me everything that I did. Can this be the Christ?" 
They went out of the city, and were coming to him. In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, "Rabbi, eat." 
But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you don't know about." 
The disciples therefore said one to another, "Has anyone brought him something to eat?" 
Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work. Don't you say, 'There are yet four months until the harvest?'Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already. He whoreaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to eternal life; that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. For in this the saying is true, 'One sows, and another reaps.' I sent you to reap that for which you haven't labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."

What is the harvest, who sows it and who reaps it?
The harvest must be all of god's people on earth. Jesus has sown (prepared) them for harvest. The harvesters are priests, ministers and even friends~anyone who can reach our hearts to accept Jesus as savior and follow his word.

Because Samaritans became christians,

Already the reaper is being paid his wages,

Already he is bringing in the grain for eternal life,

and thus sower and reaper rejoice together.

What is the harvest, who sows it and who reaps it?
The eternal food the Word of the Father that he will the break and distribute. His own body too. It is also the souls they are called to fish: plant the seeds that some other disciple will reap in the future. It takes time and patience for the harvest. And attenntive cultivation and preparing of the ground. That is why many harvesters and sowers are needed to walk in that huge field that is the earth.

What is the harvest, who sows it and who reaps it?
It is not the harvest of grain; it is harvest of people. Saints through their lives prepare spiritual seed of God`s work and they and their followers sow the seed. The seed takes time to grow. When it is grown the followers of God at that time can reap. Reaping means getting believing people to do God`s work. But they should not claim the honor for reaping and remember that people before them have sowed the seed.

The harvest is saved souls - the sower is whoever plants the Word of Jesus in someone`s heart and the reaper is who ministers to those hearts and helps them find God personally and believe and give themselves to our Lord Jesus so they may be saved.
