9There is a lad here, who hath five barley-loaves, and two small fishes; but what are they among so many?
10Jesus said, Make the men lie down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men lay down, in number about five thousand.
11Jesus then took the loaves, and having given thanks, distributed to those that were lying down; in like manner also of the fishes, as much as they desired.
12And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain over, that nothing may be lost.
13So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley-loaves, which remained over and above to those that had eaten.
14The men therefore seeing the sign which he wrought, said, This is truly the prophet that was to come into the world.
15Jesus therefore, knowing that they were about to come and take him by force to make him a king, withdrew again to the mountain alone.
16But when evening came, his disciples went down to the lake,
17and having gone on board a boat, were going over the lake to Capernaum. And darkness had overtaken them, and Jesus had not yet come to them.
18And as a strong wind was blowing, the waves ran high.
19When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they saw Jesus walking on the lake, and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid.
20But he saith to them, It is I, be not afraid.
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.
39And this is the will of him that sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up in the last day.
40For this is the will of my Father, that every one who looketh on the Son and believeth in him, shall have everlasting life; and I will raise him up in the last day.
41The Jews therefore murmured about him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven;
42and they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, one whose father and mother we know? How is it then that this man saith, I have come down from heaven?
43Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44No one can come to me, unless the Father, who sent me, draw him: and I will raise him up in the last day.
45It is written in the prophets, “And they shall all be taught of God.” Every one that hath heard the Father, and hath learnt from him, cometh to me.
46Not that any one hath seen the Father, but he who is from God; he hath seen the Father.
47Truly, truly do I say to you, He that believeth hath everlasting life.
48I am the bread of life.
49Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and died.
50This is the bread which is coming down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.
