John 6:24-35

New American Standard Bible

²⁴ So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they themselves got into the small boats and ^(A)came to Capernaum, looking for Jesus. ²⁵ And when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “^(B)Rabbi, when did You get here?”

Words to the People

²⁶ Jesus answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you ^(C)seek Me, not because you saw ^[a](D)signs, but because you ate some of the loaves and were filled. ²⁷ Do not ^(E)work for the food that perishes, but for the food that lasts for ^(F)eternal life, which ^(G)the Son of Man will give you, for on Him the Father, God, ^(H)has set His ^[b]seal.” ²⁸ Therefore they said to Him, “What are we to do, so that we may accomplish the works of God?” ²⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, “This is ^(I)the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He ^(J)has sent.” ³⁰ So they said to Him, “^(K)What then are You doing as a ^(L)sign, so that we may see, and believe You? What work are You performing? ^31 (M)Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘^(N)He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’” ³² Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven. ³³ For the bread of God is ^[c]that which ^(O)comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.” ³⁴ Then they said to Him, “Lord, always ^(P)give us this bread.”

³⁵ Jesus said to them, “^(Q)I am the bread of life; the one who comes to Me will not be hungry, and the one who believes in Me ^(R)will never be thirsty.
