John 6:11-26

¹¹And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, distributed them to those that were set down; and in like manner of the small fishes as much as they would.

¹²And when they had been filled, he says to his disciples, Gather together the fragments which are over and above, that nothing may be lost.

¹³They gathered them therefore together, and filled twelve hand-baskets full of fragments of the five barley loaves, which were over and above to those that had eaten.

¹⁴The men therefore, having seen the sign which Jesus had done, said, This is truly the prophet which is coming into the world.

¹⁵Jesus therefore knowing that they were going to come and seize him, that they might make him king, departed again to the mountain himself alone.

¹⁶But when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea,

¹⁷and having gone on board ship, they went over the sea to Capernaum. And it had already become dark, and Jesus had not come to them,

¹⁸and the sea was agitated by a strong wind blowing.

¹⁹Having rowed then about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they see Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the ship; and they were frightened.

²⁰But he says to them, It is I: be not afraid.

²¹They were willing therefore to receive him into the ship; and immediately the ship was at the land to which they went.

²²On the morrow the crowd which stood on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little ship there except that into which his disciples had got, and that Jesus had not gone with his disciples into the ship, but that his disciples had gone away alone;

²³(but other little ships out of Tiberias came near to the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks;)

²⁴when therefore the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they got into the ships, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

²⁵And having found him the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when art thou arrived here?

²⁶Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me not because ye have seen signs, but because ye have eaten of the loaves and been filled.
