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.”
30So they said to Him: “Well then, what sign are you going to do so we may see and believe you? What are you going to perform?
31Our fathers ate the manna in the desert, just as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from Heaven to eat.’ ”
32Then Jesus said to them: “Most assuredly I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from Heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from Heaven.
33For the bread of God is the One coming down out of Heaven and giving Life to the world.”
34Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”
35So Jesus said to them: “I am the bread of the Life. Whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes into me will never thirst.
36But, as I told you, you have actually seen me, yet you do not believe.
37All that the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will not throw out;
38because it is not to do my own will that I have come down out of Heaven, but the will of the One who sent me.
39Now this is the will of the Father who sent me, that I should lose nothing out of all that He has given me, but should raise it up at the last day.
40Again this is the will of Him who sent me, that everyone who ‘sees’ the Son and believes into Him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”
41Then the Jews started complaining about Him, because He said, “I am the bread that came down out of Heaven.”
42And they were saying: “Isn't this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? So how can he say, ‘I have come down out of Heaven’?”
43So Jesus answered and said to them: “Stop complaining among yourselves.
44No one is able to come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.
45It is written in the prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who listens and learns from the Father comes to me.
