4:34 ποιω ¦ ποιησω CT
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
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).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

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”
