Commentary on John 4:36

Theological / Devotional

Reapeth. Textual evidence favors (cf. p. 146) reading the word “already” of v. 35 with v. 36. Verse 36 would then begin, “Already he that reapeth receiveth wages.” With the Samaritan woman, seed sowing had scarcely been completed when the glorious time for harvest arrived (cf. James 5:7).

Gathered fruit. See on Matt. 13:30.

Life eternal. See on ch. 3:16.

Rejoice together. See Ps. 126:5, 6; Isa. 9:3; see on Luke 15:7.
