John 6:17-39

¹⁷And they went up into a boat, and they came over the sea into Capernaum. And darknesses were made then, and Jesus was not or had not come to them.

¹⁸And for a great wind blew, the sea rose up.

¹⁹Therefore when they had rowed as five and twenty furlongs or thirty, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and to be nigh the boat; and they dreaded.

²⁰And he said to them, I am; do not ye dread.

²¹Therefore they would take him into the boat, and anon the boat was at the land, to which they went.

²²On the tother day, the people, that stood over the sea, saw, that there was none other boat there but that one, and that Jesus entered not with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples alone went or went alone.

²³But other boats came from Tiberias beside the place, where they had eaten bread, and did thankings to God.

²⁴Therefore when the people had seen, that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they went up into boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

²⁵And when they had found him over the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, how camest thou hither?

²⁶Jesus answered to them, and said, Truly, truly, I say to you ye seek me, not for ye saw the miracles, but for ye ate of the loaves, and were ful filled.

²⁷Work ye not meat that perisheth, but that that dwelleth into everlasting life, which meat man’s Son shall give to you; for God the Father hath marked him.

²⁸Therefore they said to him, What shall we do, that we work the works of God?

²⁹Jesus answered, and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe to him, whom he sent.

³⁰Therefore they said to him, What token then doest thou, that we see, and believe to thee? what workest thou?

³¹Our fathers ate manna in desert, as it is written, He gave to them bread from heaven to eat.

³²Therefore Jesus saith to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses gave you not bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you very bread from heaven;

³³for it is very bread that cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world.

³⁴Therefore they said to him, Lord, evermore give to us this bread.

³⁵And Jesus said to them, I am bread of life; he that cometh to me, shall not hunger; and he that believeth in me, shall never thirst.

³⁶But I said to you, that ye have seen me, and ye believe not.

³⁷All thing that the Father giveth to me, shall come to me; and I shall not cast him out, that cometh to me.

³⁸For I came down from heaven, not that I do my will, but the will of him that sent me.

³⁹And this is the will of the Father that sent me, that all thing that the Father gave to me, I lose not or nought of it, but again-raise it in the last day.
