THE DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE PEOPLE.

On the morrow the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea

saw that there was no other boat there, save one, and that Jesus

entered not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples

went away alone (howbeit there came boats from Tiberias nigh unto the

place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks): when

the multitude therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his

disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum,

seeking Jesus.

And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto

him, "Rabbi, when camest thou hither?"

Jesus answered them and said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek

me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves, and

were filled. Work not for the food which perisheth, but for the food

which abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto

you; for him the Father, even God, hath sealed."

They said therefore unto him, "What must we do, that we may work the

works of God?"

Jesus answered and said unto them, "This is the work of God, that ye

believe on him whom he hath sent."

They said therefore unto him, "What then doest thou for a sign, that

we may see, and believe thee? what workest thou? Our fathers ate the

manna in the wilderness; as it is written, 'He gave them bread out of

heaven to eat.'"

Jesus therefore said unto them, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, It

was not Moses that gave you the bread out of heaven; but my Father

giveth you the true bread out of heaven. For the bread of God is that

which cometh down out of heaven, and giveth life unto the world."
