John 6:24-37

English Standard Version

^24 (A)So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and ^(B)went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

²⁵ When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, ^(C)“Rabbi, when did you come here?” ²⁶ Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(D)you are seeking me, not because you saw ^(E)signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. ^27 (F)Do not work for the food that perishes, but for ^(G)the food that endures to eternal life, which ^(H)the Son of Man will give to you. For on ^(I)him God the Father has ^(J)set his seal.” ²⁸ Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing ^(K)the works of God?” ²⁹ Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, ^(L)that you believe in him whom ^(M)he has sent.” ³⁰ So they said to him, ^(N)“Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform? ^31 (O)Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ^(P)‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” ³² Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. ³³ For the bread of God is ^(Q)he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” ³⁴ They said to him, ^(R)“Sir, give us this bread always.”

³⁵ Jesus said to them, ^(S)“I am the bread of life; ^(T)whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. ³⁶ But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. ^37 (U)All that ^(V)the Father gives me will come to me, and ^(W)whoever comes to me I will never cast out.
