Season of Epiphany

1	I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:
2	preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, and exhort, be unfailing in patience and in teaching.
3	For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings,
4	and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths.
5	As for you, always be steady, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil your ministry.
6	For I am already on the point of being sacrificed; the time of my departure has come.

27	Just then his disciples came. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but none said, "What do you wish?" or, "Why are you talking with her?"
28	So the woman left her water jar, and went away into the city, and said to the people,
29	"Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?"
30	They went out of the city and were coming to him.
31	Meanwhile the disciples besought him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."
32	But he said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know."
33	So the disciples said to one another, "Has any one brought him food?"
34	Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.
35	Do you not say, `There are yet four months, then comes the harvest'? I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see how the fields are already white for harvest.
36	He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together.
37	For here the saying holds true, `One sows and another reaps.'
38	I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."
