Jesus Christ » History of » Teaches in the synagogue in capernaum
The people who remained on the further side of the Sea had seen that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not gone into it with his disciples, but that they had left without him. Some boats, however, had come from Tiberias, from near the spot where they had eaten the bread after the Master had said the thanksgiving. So, on the next day, when the people saw that Jesus was not there, or his disciples either, they themselves got into the boats, and went to Capernaum to look for him. read more.
And, when they found him on the other side of the Sea, they said: "When did you get here, Rabbi?" "In truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "it is not on account of the signs which you saw that you are looking for me, but because you had the bread to eat and were satisfied. Work, not for the food that perishes, but for the food that lasts for Immortal Life, which the Son of Man will give you; for upon him the Father--God himself--has set the seal of his approval." "How," they asked, "are we to do the work that God would have us do?" "The work that God would have you do," answered Jesus, "is to believe in him whom God sent as his Messenger." "What sign, then," they asked, "are you giving, which we may see, and so believe you? What is the work that you are doing? Our ancestors had the manna to eat in the desert; as Scripture says--'He gave them bread from Heaven to eat.'" "In truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "Moses did not give you the Bread from Heaven, but my Father does give you the true Bread from Heaven; For the Bread that God gives is that which comes down from Heaven, and gives Life to the world." "Master," they exclaimed, "give us that Bread always!" "I am the Life-giving Bread," Jesus said to them; "he that comes to me shall never be hungry, and he that believes in me shall never thirst again. But, as I have said already, you have seen me, and yet you do not believe in me. All those whom the Father gives me will come to me; and no one who comes to me will I ever turn away. For I have come down from Heaven, to do, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me; And his will is this--that I should not lose one of all those whom he has given me, but should raise them up at the Last Day. For it is the will of my Father that every one who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have Immortal Life; and I myself will raise him up at the Last Day." Upon this the Jews began murmuring against Jesus for saying-- 'I am the Bread which came down from Heaven.' "Is not this Jesus, Joseph's son," they asked, "whose father and mother we know? How is it that he now says that he has come down from Heaven?" "Do not murmur among yourselves," said Jesus in reply. "No one can come to me, unless the Father who sent me draws him to me; and I will raise him up at the Last Day. It is said in the Prophets--'And they shall all be taught by God.' Every one who is taught by the Father and learns from him comes to me. Not that any one has seen the Father, except him who is from God--he has seen the Father. In truth I tell you, he who believes in me has Immortal Life. I am the Life-giving Bread. Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, and yet died.

For Jesus knew from the first who they were that did not believe in him, and who it was that would betray him; And he added: "This is why I told you that no one can come to me, unless enabled by the Father."
