Jesus had fed five thousand men,
and his disciples had seen him walking on the sea.
The next day, the crowd that had remained on the other bank
realised that there had been only one boat there,
and that Jesus had not gone up there with his disciples,
who had left without him.
However, other boats, coming from Tiberias,
had arrived near the spot where we had eaten the bread
after the Lord had given thanks.
When the crowd realised that Jesus was not there,
nor his disciples,
the people got into the boats
and set off for Capernaum
in search of Jesus.
Having found him on the other bank, they said to him:
«Rabbi, when did you arrive here?»
Jesus replied to them:
«Amen, amen, I tell you:’
Are you looking for me,
No, because you’ve seen signs,
but because you have eaten some of these loaves
and that you have been satisfied.
Do not work for food that perishes,
but as for the food that remains
right into eternal life,
the one which the Son of Man will give you,
»him whom God the Father has marked with his seal.’"
They then said to him:
«What should we do?’
»to work on God’s works?’”
Jesus replied to them:
«God’s work,
»is that you should believe in the one whom he has sent.’"
