I Am the Bread of Life

²²On the next day the crowd that remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only done boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone. ²³Other boats from Tiberias came near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord ehad given thanks. ²⁴fSo when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and gwent to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

²⁵When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, h“Rabbi, when did you come here?” ²⁶Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, iyou are seeking me, not because you saw jsigns, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. ²⁷kDo not work for the food that perishes, but for lthe food that endures to eternal life, which mthe Son of Man will give to you. For on nhim God the Father has oset his seal.” ²⁸Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing pthe works of God?” ²⁹Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, qthat you believe in him whom rhe has sent.” ³⁰So they said to him, s“Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform? ³¹tOur fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, u‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” ³²Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. ³³For the bread of God is vhe who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” ³⁴They said to him, w“Sir, give us this bread always.”

³⁵Jesus said to them, x“I am the bread of life; ywhoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
