John 6: 24 - 35
|
| 24
|
So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and went to Caper'na-um, seeking Jesus.
|
| 25
|
When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"
|
| 26
|
Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves.
|
| 27
|
Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you; for on him has God the Father set his seal."
|
| 28
|
Then they said to him, "What must we do, to be doing the works of God?"
|
| 29
|
Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."
|
| 30
|
So they said to him, "Then what sign do you do, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you perform?
|
| 31
|
Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, `He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"
|
| 32
|
Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
|
| 33
|
For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven, and gives life to the world."
|
| 34
|
They said to him, "Lord, give us this bread always."
|
| 35
|
Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to me shall not hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst.
