1 AFTER these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
After these things Jesus went beyond the Sea of Galilee, of Tiberias.
2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw the miracles He was doing in behalf of the sick.
3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
And Jesus came into the mountain; and was sitting there with His disciples.
4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
And the passover, the feast of the Jews, was nigh.
5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
Therefore Jesus lifting up His eyes, and seeing that a great multitude is coming to Him, He says to Philip, Whence can we purchase bread, that these may eat?
6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
He spoke this testing him; for He knew what He was about to do.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
Philip responded to Him, The loaves of two hundred denaria are not sufficient for these, that each one may receive a little.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him,
And one of His disciples, Andrew, the brother of Peter, says to Him,
9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fishes: but what are these among so many?
10 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.
And Jesus said, Make the people sit down. And there was much grass in the place. However the men sat down in number about five thousand.
11 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.
And Jesus took the bread; and gave thanks, and gave it to the disciples, and the disciples to the people sitting down; and likewise also of the fishes so much as they wished.
12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
And when they were filled, He says to His disciples, Gather up the remaining fragments, that nothing may be lost.
13 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.
Then they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets from the live barley loaves, which remained to those having eaten.
14 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.
Then the people, seeing the miracle which Jesus did, were saying, that, This is truly the prophet who is coming into the world.
15 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.
And Jesus knowing that they are about to come and take Him, that they may make Him king, departs again into the mountain Himself alone.
16 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
And when it was evening, His disciples went down to the sea;
17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
and embarking in the ship, they were going to the other side of the sea into Capernaum. And it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them;
18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
and the sea wrought, a great wind blowing.
19 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.
Then having gone about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and being near the ship; and were terrified.
20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
And He says to them, I am here; fear not.
21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
Then they wished to receive Him into the ship, and immediately the ship was at the land to which they were going.
22 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;
On the following day the multitude standing beyond the sea saw that there was no other ship there, except one, and that Jesus did not go along with His disciples into the ship, but His disciples went away alone
23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks: )
(other ships came from Tiberias near the place where they ate the bread, the Lord having given thanks).
24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
And when the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they went into ships, and came into Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
And having found Him beyond the sea, they said to Him, Master, when did you come hither?
26 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.
Jesus responded to them and said, Truly, truly, I say unto you, You seek me not because you saw the miracles, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.

Labor not for the food that perishes, but the food that abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man gives to you: for this God the Father hath sealed. (aiōnios g166)
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
Then they said to Him, What must we do, that we may work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
Jesus responded and said to them, This is the work of God, that you may believe on Him whom He hath sent.
30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
Then they said to Him, Then what miracle do you perform, that we may see, and believe you, what you may do?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
Our fathers ate manna in the wilderness; as has been written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 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.

36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
Everything which the Father giveth unto me shall come to me; and him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
Because I have come down from heaven, not that I may do my own will, but the will of Him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
And this is the will of the One having sent me, that everything that the Father has given unto me I shall lose nothing of it, but I shall raise it up in the last day.

and they continued to say, Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how does He now say; I have come down from heaven?
43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
Jesus responded and said to them, Murmur not with one another.

52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
Then the Jews were contending with one another, saying, How is this One able to give unto us His flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Then Jesus said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Unless you may eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.

60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
Then many of His disciples, hearing, said, This is a hard sermon; who is able to hear it?
61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
And Jesus knowing in Himself that His disciples are murmuring concerning it, said to them, Does this offend you?
62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
