John 4:36-38 Already the person who is harvesting the crop is being paid for his work, and is gathering a crop for never ending life, so that the one planting and the one harvesting the crop may rejoice together.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁶ Already the person who is harvesting [the crop] is being paid for his work, and is gathering a crop for never ending life, so that the one planting and the one harvesting [the crop] may rejoice together. ³⁷ So, the saying is true that one person plants and another harvests [the crop]. ³⁸ I sent you [disciples] to harvest [a crop] that you did not work on; other people have done the work and you have reaped the results of their work.” [Note: This is probably an allusion to the preliminary work of preaching done by John, the Immerser, with results occurring under the preaching of the apostles].
