THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN - Chapter 4 - Verse 37

Verse 37. That saying. That proverb. This proverb is found in some of the Greek writers (Grotius). Similar proverbs were in use among the Jews. See Isaiah 65:21,22; Le 26:16; Micah 6:15.

One soweth, &c. One man may preach the gospel, and with little apparent effect; another, succeeding him, may be crowned with eminent success. The seed, long buried, may spring up in an abundant harvest.

{y} "one soweth" Micah 6:15
