John 6:22-40

Young's Literal Translation

²² On the morrow, the multitude that was standing on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little boat there except one -- that into which his disciples entered -- and that Jesus went not in with his disciples into the little boat, but his disciples went away alone,

²³ (and other little boats came from Tiberias, nigh the place where they did eat the bread, the Lord having given thanks),

²⁴ when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus is not there, nor his disciples, they also themselves did enter into the boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus;

²⁵ and having found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, `Rabbi, when hast thou come hither?'

²⁶ Jesus answered them and said, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were satisfied;

²⁷ work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal -- [even] God.'

²⁸ They said therefore unto him, `What may we do that we may work the works of God?'

²⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, `This is the work of God, that ye may believe in him whom He did send.'

³⁰ They said therefore to him, `What sign, then, dost thou, that we may see and may believe thee? what dost thou work?

³¹ our fathers the manna did eat in the wilderness, according as it is having been written, Bread out of the heaven He gave them to eat.'

³² Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of the heaven; but my Father doth give you the true bread out of the heaven;

³³ for the bread of God is that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.'

³⁴ They said, therefore, unto him, `Sir, always give us this bread.'

³⁵ And Jesus said to them, `I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst -- at any time;

³⁶ but I said to you, that ye also have seen me, and ye believe not;

³⁷ all that the Father doth give to me will come unto me; and him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without,

³⁸ because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me.

³⁹ `And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in the last day;

⁴⁰ and this is the will of Him who sent me, that every one who is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day.'
