John 6: 24-35
24When the crowd
saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples
were [beside the
sea,] they
themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for
Jesus.
25When they
found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi,
when did you come here?” 26Jesus answered
them, “Very truly, I tell you, you are looking for me, not because
you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the
loaves. 27Do not work
for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for
eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For it is on him
that God the Father has set his seal.” 28Then they said
to him, “What must we do to perform the works of
God?” 29Jesus answered
them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has
sent.” 30So they said
to him, “What sign are you going to give us then, so that we may
see it and believe you? What work are you
performing? 31Our ancestors
ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them
bread from heaven to eat.’ ” 32Then Jesus
said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave
you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the
true bread from heaven. 33For the bread
of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the
world.” 34They said to
him, “Sir, give us this bread always.”
35Jesus said to
them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be
hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be
thirsty.”
