John 6:21-38

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?

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

³⁰They said therefore to him, What sign doest thou, that we may see, and believe thee? What dost thou work?

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

³²Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, Moses hath not given you the bread from heaven; but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven.

³³For the bread of God is that which is coming down from heaven, and giving life to the world.

³⁴They said therefore to him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

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

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

³⁷All that the Father giveth me will come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out;

³⁸for I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
