John 6:22-40

22The nextG1887 dayG1887 1the crowdG3793 that stoodG2476 on the otherG4008 sideG4008 of the seaG2281 sawG3708 that there was noG3756 otherG243 smallG4142 boatG4142 thereG1563 exceptG1508 oneG1520, and that JesusG2424 2had not gottenG4897 intoG4897 the boatG4143 withG4897 His disciplesG3101, but that His disciplesG3101 had departedG565 aloneG3441. 23OtherG243 smallG4142 boatsG4142 cameG2064 from 3TiberiasG5085 nearG1451 to the placeG5117 whereG3699 they ateG2068 the breadG740 after the 4LordG2962 5had givenG2168 thanksG2168. 24SoG3767 whenG3753 the crowdG3793 sawG3708 that JesusG2424 was not thereG1563, norG3761 His disciplesG3101, they themselvesG846 gotG1684 into the smallG4142 boatsG4142 and 6cameG2064 to CapernaumG2746, lookingG2212 forG2212 JesusG2424. 25And whenG4219 they foundG2147 Him on the otherG4008 sideG4008 of the seaG2281, they saidG3004 to Him, “7RabbiG4461, whenG4219 did You getG1096 hereG5602?”

26JesusG2424 answeredG611 them and saidG3004, “TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, you 8seekG2212 Me, not becauseG3754 you sawG3708 910signsG4592, but becauseG3754 you ateG2068 someG1537 ofG1537 the loavesG740 and were filledG5526. 27Do not 11workG2038 for the foodG1035 that perishesG622, but for the foodG1035 that lastsG3306 for 12eternalG166 lifeG2222, whichG3739 13the SonG5207 of ManG444 will giveG1325 you, for onG4972 Him the FatherG3962, GodG2316, 14has setG4972 His 15sealG4972.” 28ThereforeG3767 they saidG3004 to Him, “WhatG5101 are we to doG4160, soG2443 thatG2443 we may accomplishG2038 the worksG2041 of GodG2316?” 29JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “ThisG3778 is 16the workG2041 of GodG2316, that you believeG4100 in Him whomG3739 He 17has sentG649.” 30SoG3767 they saidG3004 to Him, “18WhatG5101 thenG3767 are You doingG4160 as a 19signG4592, soG2443 thatG2443 we may seeG3708, and believeG4100 You? WhatG5101 workG2038 are You performingG2038? 3120Our fathersG3962 ateG2068 the mannaG3131 in the wildernessG2048; as it is writtenG1125: ‘21He gaveG1325 them breadG740 out of heavenG3772 to eatG2068.’” 32JesusG2424 thenG3767 saidG3004 to them, “TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, it is not MosesG3475 who has givenG1325 you the breadG740 out of heavenG3772, but it is My FatherG3962 who givesG1325 you the trueG228 breadG740 out of heavenG3772. 33For the breadG740 of GodG2316 is 22that which 23comesG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772 and givesG1325 lifeG2222 to the worldG2889.” 34ThenG3767 they saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, alwaysG3842 24giveG1325 us thisG3778 breadG740.”

35JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “25I amG1510 the breadG740 of lifeG2222; the one who comesG2064 to Me will not beG3983 hungryG3983, and the one who believesG4100 in Me 26will neverG3756G3361 beG1372 thirstyG1372. 36But 27I saidG3004 to you that you have indeedG2532 seenG3708 Me, and yet you do not believeG4100. 3728EverythingG3956 that the FatherG3962 givesG1325 Me will comeG2240 to Me, and the one who comesG2064 to Me I certainlyG3756G3361 will not castG1544 outG1544. 38For 29I have comeG2597 downG2597 from heavenG3772, 30not to doG4160 My ownG1699 willG2307, but 31the willG2307 of Him who 32sentG3992 Me. 39And thisG3778 is the willG2307 of Him who sentG3992 Me, that of 33everythingG3956 that He has givenG1325 Me I will 34loseG622 nothingG3361, but will 35raiseG450 it upG450 on the lastG2078 dayG2250. 40For thisG3778 is the willG2307 of My FatherG3962, that everyoneG3956 who 36seesG2334 the SonG5207 and 37believesG4100 in Him will haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222, and I MyselfG1473 will 38raiseG450 him upG450 on the lastG2078 dayG2250.”
