John 6:17-28

¹⁷and having gone on board a boat, were going over the lake to Capernaum. And darkness had overtaken them, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

¹⁸And as a strong wind was blowing, the waves ran high.

¹⁹When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they saw Jesus walking on the lake, and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid.

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

²¹Then they were willing to receive him into the boat; and immediately the boat was at the land whither they were going.

²²The day following, the multitude which stood on the other side of the lake having seen that there was no other boat there but one, and that Jesus did not go with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples went away alone,

²³(but there came other boats from Tiberias near the place where they ate the bread, when the Lord had given thanks;)

²⁴when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there nor his disciples, they went on board the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

²⁵And having found him on the other side of the lake, they said to him, Rabbi, when didst thou come hither?

²⁶Jesus answered them and said, Truly, truly do I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled.

²⁷Labor not for the food that perisheth, but for the food that endureth to everlasting life, which the Son of man giveth to you; for on him hath the Father set his seal, even God.

²⁸Then they said to him, What are we to do, that we may work the works of God?
