[16]When evening came, his disciples went down to the
sea, [17]got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was
now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. [18]The sea became rough
because a strong wind was blowing. [19]When they had rowed about three or
four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and
they were terrified. [20]But he said to them, "It is I; do not be
afraid." [21]Then they wanted to take him into the boat, and immediately
the boat reached the land toward which they were going.
[22]The next day the crowd that had stayed on the other
side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there. They also saw that
Jesus had not got into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had
gone away alone.
[23]Then some boats from Tiberias came near the place
where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. [24]So when the
crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got
into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus.
[25]When they found him on the other side of the sea,
they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?" [26]Jesus answered
them, "Very truly, I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw
signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. [27]Do not work for the
food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the
Son of Man will give you.
For it is on him that God the Father has set his
seal."
