“I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.”
'I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have benefited from their labor.' — Jesus' commissioning of the disciples places them in the eschatological harvest. The hard work (kopos) performed by others includes the prophetic tradition and Jesus' own prior ministry. The disciples enter into completed labor.
