Read John 4.31-42. In 31-38: Jesus and his disciples. In verses 31-34: The disciples talk to Jesus about food in a way that exposes their ignorance of his mission (see 6.27 and 5.17). In verses 35-38: The imagery moves from food to harvest, often an image of judgment, but here the gathering of the fruits of mission. Others: probably a reference to Moses, the prophets, and Jesus. In verses 39-42: The harvest. The woman was provisional witness: Many believed because of her, but many more believed because of Jesus' confession, This is truly the Savior of the world (compare 3.16-17; 12.47; 1 Jn 4.14).
