John 6:27

Verse 27 of 71. The 6th of 21 chapters in John, in The Gospels.

23However, boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

24When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus wasn’t there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

25When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”

26Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.

27Don’t work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”

28They said therefore to him, “What must we do, that we may work the works of God?”

29Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”

30They said therefore to him, “What then do you do for a sign, that we may see and believe you? What work do you do?

31Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”
