Exegesis
The first hoti {ὅτι | ho-ti} introduces the proverb itself, and the time expression eti tetramenos estin {Ἔτι τετράμηνός ἐστιν | É-ti te-trá-mē-nos es-tin} establishes delay and expectation.
The final hoti {ὅτι | ho-ti} clause is causal, explaining why the command matters: leukai eisin {λευκαί εἰσιν | leu-kaí ei-sin} describes the fields as already visually marked for action, while pros therismon {πρὸς θερισμόν | pros the-ris-món} expresses direction toward reaping.
In context — John 4:35
Is this not what you say: “There are still four months, and then the harvest comes”? Look, I say to you, raise your eyes and survey the fields, because they are already white for harvest .
