John 6:13-26 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

13. So they gathered them, and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.

14. Now when the people saw the sign that he performed, they began to say, “This one is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world!”

15. Then Jesus, because he knew that they were about to come and seize him in order to make him king, withdrew again up the mountain by himself alone.

16. Now when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea.

17. And getting into a boat, they began to go to the other side of the sea, to Capernaum. And it had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

18. And the sea began to be stirred up because a strong wind was blowing.

19. Then when they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were afraid.

20. But he said to them, “It is I! Do not be afraid!”

21. So they were wanting to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat came to the land to which they were going.

22. On the next day, the crowd that was on the other side of the sea saw that other boats were not there (except one), and that Jesus had not entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had departed alone.

23. Other boats from Tiberias came near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

24. So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus.

25. And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”

26. Jesus replied to them and said, “Truly, truly I say to you, you seek me not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were satisfied!
