Found about twenty times in the New Testament, the Greek verb “therizo” meant “gather,” “reap,” “harvest.”

Jesus said birds do not “reap” (Mt. 6:26; Lk. 12:24), but man (Jn. 4:37-38) and God do (Mt. 25:24, 26; Lk. 19:21).  The Corinthian letters use this term in 1 Cor. 9:11; 2 Cor. 9:6.  Paul also used this word in Gal. 6:7-9, and James used it in 5:4.  The book of Revelation uses this verb in Rev. 14:15-16.
