John 6:23-35

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.
