John 6:22-29

English Standard Version

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 ^(A)one 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 ^(B)had given thanks. ²⁴^(C)So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and ^(D)went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

²⁵When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, ^(E)“Rabbi, when did you come here?” ²⁶Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(F)you are seeking me, not because you saw ^(G)signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. ²⁷^(H)Do not work for the food that perishes, but for ^(I)the food that endures to eternal life, which ^(J)the Son of Man will give to you. For on ^(K)him God the Father has ^(L)set his seal.” ²⁸Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing ^(M)the works of God?” ²⁹Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, ^(N)that you believe in him whom ^(O)he has sent.”
