16. When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,
17. and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
18. The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.
19. When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.
20. But he said to them, “It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
21. They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
22. On the next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his disciples had embarked, and that Jesus hadn’t entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone.
23. However boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
24. When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus wasn’t there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
25. When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
26. Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.
27. Don’t work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”
28. They said therefore to him, “What must we do, that we may work the works of God?”
29. Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”
30. They said therefore to him, “What then do you do for a sign, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you do?
31. Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”
32. Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, it wasn’t Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.
33. For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.”
