Part 9

43:006:010 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

43:006:011 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

43:006:012 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

43:006:013 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.

43:006:014 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.

43:006:015 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.

43:006:016 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,

43:006:017 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.

43:006:018 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.

43:006:019 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.

43:006:020 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.

43:006:021 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.

43:006:022 The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;

43:006:023 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)

43:006:024 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.

43:006:025 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

43:006:026 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

43:006:027 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

43:006:028 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

43:006:029 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

43:006:030 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

43:006:031 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

43:006:032 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

43:006:033 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

43:006:034 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

43:006:035 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

43:006:036 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

43:006:037 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
