6After this, Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (or Tiberias).G3326G5023G2424G565G4008G2281G1056G50852A large crowd kept following him because they had seen the signs that he was performing by healing the sick.G2532G4183G3793G190G846G3754G3708G846G4592G3739G4160G1909G7703But Jesus went up on a hillside and sat down there with his disciples.G1161G2424G424G1519G3735G2532G1563G2521G3326G846G31014Now the Passover, the festival of the Jews, was near.G1161G3957G1859G2453G2258G14515When Jesus looked up and saw that a large crowd was coming toward him, he asked Philip, "Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?"G2424G3767G1869G3788G2532G2300G3754G4183G3793G2064G4314G846G3004G4314G5376G4159G59G740G2443G3778G53156Jesus said this to test him, because he himself knew what he was going to do.G1161G5124G3004G3985G846G1063G846G1492G5101G3195G41607Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread isn't enough for each of them to have a little."G5376G611G846G1250G1220G740G714G3756G714G846G2443G1538G846G2983G5100G10248One of his disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter's brother, said to him,G1520G1537G846G3101G406G4613G4074G80G3004G8469"There's a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fish. But what are these among so many people?"G2076G1520G3808G5602G3739G2192G4002G2916G740G2532G1417G3795G235G5101G2076G5023G1519G511810Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was plenty of grass in that area, so they sat down, numbering about 5,000 men.G1161G2424G2036G4160G444G377G1161G2258G4183G5528G1722G5117G3767G435G377G706G5616G400011Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were seated. He also distributed as much fish as they wanted.G1161G2424G2983G740G2532G2168G1239G3101G1161G3101G345G2532G3668G1537G3795G3745G230912When they were completely satisfied, Jesus told his disciples, "Collect the pieces that are left over so that nothing is wasted."G1161G5613G1705G3004G846G3101G4863G2801G4052G3363G5100G62213So they collected and filled twelve baskets full of pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.G3767G4863G2532G1072G1427G2894G2801G1537G4002G2916G740G3739G4052G97714When the people saw the sign that he had done, they kept saying, "Truly this is the Prophet who was to come into the world!"G3767G444G1492G4592G3739G2424G4160G3004G3754G3778G2076G230G4396G2064G1519G288915Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again to the hillside by himself.G2424G3767G1097G3754G3195G2064G2532G726G846G726G2443G4160G846G935G402G3825G1519G3735G846G344116When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,G1161G5613G3798G1096G846G3101G2597G1909G228117got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. Darkness had already fallen, and Jesus had not yet come to them.G2532G1684G1519G4143G2064G4008G2281G1519G2584G2532G1096G2235G4653G2532G2424G2064G3756G2064G4314G84618A strong wind was blowing, and the sea was getting rough.G5037G2281G1326G3173G417G415419After they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea toward their boat. They became terrified.G3767G1643G5613G4002G1501G2228G5144G4712G2334G2424G4043G1909G2281G2532G1096G1451G4143G2532G539920But he said to them, "It is I. Stop being afraid!"G1161G3004G846G1510G1473G5399G3361G539921So they were glad to take him on board, and immediately the boat reached the land toward which they were going.20G3767G2309G2983G846G1519G4143G2532G2112G4143G1096G1909G1093G1519G3739G521722The next day, the crowd that had remained on the other side of the sea noticed that only one boat had been there, and no other, and that Jesus had not gotten into that boat with his disciples. Instead, his disciples had gone away by themselves.G1887G3793G3588G2476G4008G2281G1492G3754G2258G3756G243G4142G1563G1508G1565G1520G1519G3739G846G3101G1684G2532G3754G2424G4897G3756G4897G846G3101G1519G4142G235G846G3101G565G344123Other small boats from Tiberias arrived near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.G235G1161G2064G243G4142G1537G5085G1451G5117G3699G5315G740G2962G216824When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into these boats and went to Capernaum to look for Jesus.G3753G3793G3767G1492G3754G2424G2076G3756G1563G3761G846G3101G846G2532G1684G1519G4143G2532G2064G1519G2584G2212G242425When they had found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"G2532G2147G846G4008G2281G2036G846G4461G4219G1096G560226Jesus replied to them, "Truly, I tell all of you with certainty, you are looking for me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate the loaves and were completely satisfied.G2424G611G846G2532G2036G281G281G3004G5213G2212G3165G3756G3754G1492G4592G235G3754G5315G1537G740G2532G552627Do not work for food that perishes but for food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set his seal on him."G2038G3361G1035G3588G622G235G1035G3588G3306G1519G166G2222G3739G5207G444G1325G5213G1063G5126G4972G2316G3962G497228Then they asked him, "What must we do to perform the actions of God?"G3767G2036G4314G846G5101G4160G4160G2443G2038G2041G231629Jesus answered them, "This is the action of God: to believe in the one whom he has sent."G2424G611G2532G2036G846G5124G2076G2041G2316G2443G4100G1519G3739G1565G64930So they asked him, "What sign are you going to do so that we may see it and believe in you? What actions are you performing -G2036G3767G846G5101G4592G4160G4771G3767G2443G1492G2532G4100G4671G5101G203831Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"G2257G3962G5315G3131G1722G2048G2531G2076G1125G1325G846G740G1537G3772G531532Jesus said to them, "Truly, I tell all of you with certainty, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.G3767G2424G2036G846G281G281G3004G5213G3475G1325G5213G3756G740G1537G3772G235G3450G3962G1325G5213G228G740G1537G377233The bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."G1063G740G2316G2076G3588G2597G1537G3772G2532G1325G2222G288934Then they said to him, "Sir, give us this bread all the time."G3767G2036G4314G846G2962G3842G1325G2254G5126G74035Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never become hungry, and whoever believes in me will never become thirsty.G1161G2424G2036G846G1473G1510G740G2222G2064G4314G3165G3364G3983G2532G4100G1519G1691G1372G3364G4455G137236I told you that you have seen me, yet you don't believe.G235G2036G5213G3754G3708G2532G3708G3165G2532G4100G375637Everything the Father gives me will come to me, and I'll never turn away the one who comes to me.G3956G3739G3962G1325G3427G2240G4314G1691G2532G2064G4314G3165G1544G3364G1544G185438I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of the one who sent me.G3754G2597G1537G3772G3756G2443G4160G1699G2307G235G2307G3992G316539And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything that he has given me, but should raise it to life on the last day.G1161G5124G2076G3962G2307G3588G3992G3165G2443G3956G3739G1325G3427G622G3361G1537G846G235G450G846G450G1722G2078G225040This is my Father's will: That everyone who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him to life on the last day."G1161G5124G2076G2307G3992G3165G2443G3956G3588G2334G5207G2532G4100G1519G846G2192G166G2222G2532G1473G450G846G450G2078G225041Then the Jews began grumbling about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."G2453G3767G1111G4012G846G3754G2036G1473G1510G740G3588G2597G1537G377242They kept saying, "This is Jesus, the son of Joseph, isn't it, whose father and mother we know? So how can he say, 'I have come down from heaven'?"G2532G3004G2076G3756G3778G2424G5207G2501G3739G3962G2532G3384G2249G1492G4459G3767G3778G3004G3754G2597G1537G377243Jesus answered them, "Stop grumbling among yourselves.G2424G3767G611G2532G2036G846G1111G3361G3326G24044No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him to life on the last day.G3762G1410G2064G4314G3165G3362G3962G3588G3992G3165G1670G846G2532G1473G450G846G450G2078G225045It is written in the Prophets, 'And all of them will be taught by God.'
