John 6:14-27

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said: This is of a truth the prophet, that is to come into the world.

¹⁵ Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force, and make him king, fled again into the mountain himself alone.

¹⁶ And when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea.

¹⁷ And when they had gone up into a ship, they went over the sea to Capharnaum; and it was now dark, and Jesus was not come unto them.

¹⁸ And the sea arose, by reason of a great wind that blew.

¹⁹ When they had rowed therefore about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing nigh to the ship, and they were afraid.

²⁰ But he saith to them: It is I; be not afraid.

²¹ They were willing therefore to take him into the ship; and presently the ship was at the land to which they were going.

²² The next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea, saw that there was no other ship there but one, and that Jesus had not entered into the ship with his disciples, but that his disciples were gone away alone.

²³ But other ships came in from Tiberias; nigh unto the place where they had eaten the bread, the Lord giving thanks.

²⁴ When therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they took shipping, and came to Capharnaum, seeking for Jesus.

²⁵ And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him: Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

²⁶ Jesus answered them, and said: Amen, amen I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

²⁷ Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you. For him hath God, the Father, sealed.
