Matthew Poole and continuators on John 4:37

37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth .

It was a Proverbial expression, most commonly used with reference to those who unjustly invaded the Rights and Possessions of other men; but as applicable unto those who by the disposing Providence of God, rightly Inherit the Fruit of other mens Labours, as the Iews Inherited the Land of Canaan, Iosh. 24.13. A land for which ye did not labour, and Cities which ye built not. This saying (saith our Saviour) is fulfilled in you.
