22 Altera die, turba, quae stabat trans mare, vidit quia navicula alia non erat ibi nisi una, et quia non introisset cum discipulis suis Jesus in navim, sed soli discipuli ejus abiissent:

23 aliae vero supervenerunt naves a Tiberiade juxta locum ubi manducaverant panem, gratias agente Domino.

24 Cum ergo vidisset turba quia Jesus non esset ibi, neque discipuli ejus, ascenderunt in naviculas, et venerunt Capharnaum quaerentes Jesum.

25 Et cum invenissent eum trans mare, dixerunt ei: Rabbi, quando huc venisti?

26 Respondit eis Jesus, et dixit: Amen, amen dico vobis: quaeritis me non quia vidistis signa, sed quia manducastis ex panibus et saturati estis.

27 Operamini non cibum, qui perit, sed qui permanet in vitam aeternam, quem Filius hominis dabit vobis. Hunc enim Pater signavit Deus.

28 Dixerunt ergo ad eum: Quid faciemus ut operemur opera Dei?

29 Respondit Jesus, et dixit eis: Hoc est opus Dei, ut credatis in eum quem misit ille.

30 Dixerunt ergo ei: Quod ergo tu facis signum ut videamus et credamus tibi? quid operaris?

31 Patres nostri manducaverunt manna in deserto, sicut scriptum est: Panem de caelo dedit eis manducare.

32 Dixit ergo eis Jesus: Amen, amen dico vobis: non Moyses dedit vobis panem de caelo, sed Pater meus dat vobis panem de caelo verum.

33 Panis enim Dei est, qui de caelo descendit, et dat vitam mundo.

34 Dixerunt ergo ad eum: Domine, semper da nobis panem hunc.

35 Dixit autem eis Jesus: Ego sum panis vitae: qui venit ad me, non esuriet, et qui credit in me, non sitiet umquam.

36 Sed dixi vobis quia et vidistis me, et non creditis.

37 Omne quod dat mihi Pater, ad me veniet: et eum qui venit ad me, non ejiciam foras:

38 quia descendi de caelo, non ut faciam voluntatem meam, sed voluntatem ejus qui misit me.

39 Haec est autem voluntas ejus qui misit me, Patris: ut omne quod dedit mihi, non perdam ex eo, sed resuscitem illud in novissimo die.

40 Haec est autem voluntas Patris mei, qui misit me: ut omnis qui videt Filium et credit in eum, habeat vitam aeternam, et ego resuscitabo eum in novissimo die.

22 The next day the crowd that had stayed on the opposite shore of the lake(A) realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples, but that they had gone away alone.(B) 23 Then some boats from Tiberias(C) landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.(D) 24 Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of Jesus.

Jesus the Bread of Life

25 When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Rabbi,(E) when did you get here?”

26 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me,(F) not because you saw the signs(G) I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. 27 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures(H) to eternal life,(I) which the Son of Man(J) will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal(K) of approval.”

28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe(L) in the one he has sent.”(M)

30 So they asked him, “What sign(N) then will you give that we may see it and believe you?(O) What will you do? 31 Our ancestors ate the manna(P) in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’[a](Q)

32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven(R) and gives life to the world.”

34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”(S)

35 Then Jesus declared, “I am(T) the bread of life.(U) Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes(V) in me will never be thirsty.(W) 36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. 37 All those the Father gives me(X) will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven(Y) not to do my will but to do the will(Z) of him who sent me.(AA) 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me,(AB) but raise them up at the last day.(AC) 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son(AD) and believes in him shall have eternal life,(AE) and I will raise them up at the last day.”
