OET (OET-LV) The Yaʸsous is_saying to_them:
My food is that I_may_do the will of_the one having_sent me, and I_may_complete the work of_him.
OET (OET-RV) “Obeying God who sent me is like food to me, and I plan to finish his work,” Yeshua explained.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
λέγει
˓is˒_saying
Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐμὸν βρῶμά ἐστιν ἵνα ποιήσω τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πέμψαντός με, καὶ τελειώσω αὐτοῦ τὸ ἔργον
my food is that ˱I˲_˓may˒_do the will ˱of˲_the_‹one› ˓having˒_sent me and ˱I˲_˓may˒_complete ˱of˲_him the work
Here Jesus uses food to refer to obeying God’s will. If it would be helpful for your readers, you could express this with a simile. Alternate translation: [Like food satisfies a hungry person, doing the will of the one who sent me and completing his work satisfies me]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τοῦ πέμψαντός με
˱of˲_the_‹one› ˓having˒_sent me
Here, the one who sent me refers to God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [of God, the one who sent me]
4:1-42 At a historic well in Samaria, Jesus offered himself as living water. Jesus engaged and confronted people with the revelation of God, and they either followed or fell away.
• The Samaritan woman contrasted with Nicodemus at every turn: a woman (not a man), a Samaritan (not a Jew), a sinner (not righteous), and an outcast (not one of Israel’s rabbis). While Nicodemus fell silent and never responded to Jesus’ challenges (3:1-21), this woman acknowledged Jesus as Lord, remained in the light, and exhibited signs of discipleship (see 1:35-51).

OET (OET-RV) “Obeying God who sent me is like food to me, and I plan to finish his work,” Yeshua explained.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
