16When evening fell, his disciples went down to the sea,
17and, getting into a boat, began to cross to Capernaum. By this time darkness had set in, and Jesus had not yet come back to them;
18the sea, too, was getting rough, for a strong wind was blowing.
19When they had rowed three or four miles, they caught sight of him walking on the water and approaching the boat, and they were frightened.
20But Jesus said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid!”
21And after this they were glad to take him into the boat; and the boat at once arrived off the shore, for which they had been making.
22The people who remained on the further side of the sea had seen that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not gone into it with his disciples, but that they had left without him.
23Some boats, however, had come from Tiberias, from near the spot where they had eaten the bread after the Master had said the thanksgiving.
24So, on the next day, when the people saw that Jesus was not there, or his disciples either, they themselves got into the boats, and went to Capernaum to look for him.
25And, when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said, “When did you get here, Rabbi?”
26“In truth I tell you,” answered Jesus, “it is not because of the signs which you saw that you are looking for me, but because you had the bread to eat and were satisfied.
27Work, not for the food that perishes, but for the food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you; for on him the Father — God himself — has set the seal of his approval.”
