Jesus Christ » History of » Teaches in the synagogue in capernaum
On the morrow the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except one, and that Jesus, entered not with His disciples into the boat, but His disciples went away alone (yet there came boats from Tiberias near to the place where they ate the bread, the Lord having given thanks): when, therefore, the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they themselves entered into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. read more.
And, having found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, "Rabbi, when camest Thou hither?" Jesus answered them and said, "Verily, verily, I say to you, ye seek Me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled. Work not for the food that perishes, but for the food that abides unto eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you; for Him God the Father sealed." They said, therefore, "What must we do, that we may work the works of God?" Jesus answered, and said to them, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him Whom He sent." They said, therefore, to Him, "What sign doest Thou, then, that we may see, and believe Thee? What doest Thou? Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it has been written, 'He gave them bread out of Heaven to eat.'" Jesus, therefore, said to them, "Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of Heaven; but My Father giveth you the true bread out of Heaven; for the Bread of God is He Who cometh down out of Heaven, and giveth life to the world." They said, therefore, to Him, "Lord, evermore give us this bread." Jesus said to them, "I am the Bread of Life; he who comes to Me shall not hunger, and he who believes on Me shall never thirst. But I said to you, that ye have even seen Me, and do not believe. All that the Father giveth to Me shall come to Me; and him who comes to Me I will in no wise cast out; because I have come down from Heaven, not to do My Own will, but the will of Him Who sent Me. And this is the will of Him Who sent Me, that of all that He hath given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. For this is the will of My Father, that every one who beholds the Son, and believes on Him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day." The Jews, therefore, were murmuring concerning Him, because He said, "I am the Bread that came down out of Heaven." And they said, "Is not this Jesus, the Son of Joseph, Whose father and mother we know? How doth He now say, 'I have come down out of Heaven'? Jesus answered, and said to them, "Murmur not among yourselves. No one can come to Me, unless the Father Who sent Me draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day. It has been written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught of God.' Every one who heard from the Father, and learned, comes to Me. Not that any one has seen the Father, save Him Who is from God, He hath seen the Father. Verily, verily, I say to you, he that believes has eternal life. I am the Bread of Life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and died. This is the Bread That cometh down out of Heaven, that one may eat thereof, and not die. I am the Living Bread That came down out of Heaven: if any one eat of This Bread, he shall live forever; yea, and the Bread That I will give him is My flesh, for the life of the world." The Jews, therefore, were wrangling with one another, saying, "How can This Man give us His flesh to eat?" Jesus, therefore, said to them, "Verily, verily, I say to you, unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in yourselves. He that eats My flesh, and drinks My blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day; for My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. He that eats My flesh, and drinks My blood, abides in Me, and I in him. As the Living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father; so he, also, who eats Me, shall live because of Me. This is the Bread That came down out of Heaven. Not as the fathers ate, and died: he that eats this Bread shall live forever." These things He said in the synagogue, while teaching in Capernaum. Many, therefore, of His disciples, having heard this, said, "This is a hard saying! Who can hear it?" But Jesus, knowing in Himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble? What, then, if ye behold the Son of Man ascending where He was before? It is the Spirit That giveth life; the flesh profits nothing: the words which I have spoken to you are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were that believed not, and who it was that would betray Him. And He said, "For this cause I have said to you, that no one can come to Me, unless it has been given to him of the Father."
And, having found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, "Rabbi, when camest Thou hither?"
