Commentary on John 4:35

Theological / Devotional

Harvest. In Palestine grain was sown in the autumn and harvested in the spring (see Vol. II, pp. 108-110). Since the grain harvest in regions like Sychar came in April or May, it was now probably about the month of December or January (see Additional Note on Luke 4; Opening of the Galilean Ministry; cf. DA 191).

Look on the fields. The disciples could see the villagers making their way through the fields of growing grain (DA 191) to the well. The seed of truth sown in the heart of this woman of Samaria had already begun to bear fruit, and the next two days saw a plentiful harvest (see vs. 39-42).
