Commentary on John 4:37

Theological / Devotional

One soweth. Perhaps Jesus thinks of Himself as the sower and of the disciples as the reapers (see John 4:38; cf. Matt. 9:37, 38; 10:1), and envisions the greater harvest in Samaria following His resurrection (see on Acts 8:6-8, 14, 25). In the harvest of souls it is often true that the one who sows the gospel seed is not the one who has the privilege of harvesting the crop (cf. 1 Cor. 3:6, 7). For Jesus as the sower of good seed see on Matt. 13:3-8, 18-23.
