the reaper is receiving wages and gathering fruit for everlasting life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

John 4:35-38.

Jesus confined his sowing to the Jews and Jewish proselytes and the related Samaritans. John the Baptist had also done some sowing. After Jesus’ resurrection and the pouring out of holy spirit on his disciples on Pentecost day of 33 C.E., these disciples would first do much reaping in this “sown” field.
