John 6:18-29

¹⁸Further, the sea was being agitated by a strong wind blowing.

¹⁹Then, after they had rowed some three or four miles, they see Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat; and they were afraid.

²⁰But He said to them, “It is I; don't be afraid!”

²¹Then they wanted to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.

²²The next day the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other boat there except the one into which His disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not gotten into the boat with His disciples but only His disciples had gone away—

²³although other boats had come from Tiberias, near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks—

²⁴so when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum, looking for Jesus.

²⁵When they found Him on another side of the sea they said to Him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”

²⁶Jesus answered them and said: “Most assuredly I say to you, you are not seeking me because you saw miraculous signs, but because you ate the bread and were filled.

²⁷Do not work for the food that wastes away but for the food that endures into life eternal, which the Son of the Man will give you; because on Him God the Father has set His seal.”

²⁸So they said to Him, “What should we do so that we may work the works of God?”

²⁹Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe into the One whom He sent.”
