Accordingly, when the crowd saw that neither Yeshua nor his talmidim were there, they themselves boarded the boats and made for K'far-Nachum in search of Yeshua.
25
When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"
26
Yeshua answered, "Yes, indeed! I tell you, you're not looking for me because you saw miraculous signs, but because you ate the bread and had all you wanted!
27
Don't work for the food which passes away but for the food that stays on into eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For this is the one on whom God the Father has put his seal."
28
So they said to him, "What should we do in order to perform the works of God?"
29
Yeshua answered, "Here's what the work of God is: to trust in the one he sent!"
30

Our fathers ate manna in the desert -- as it says in the Tanakh, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'
32
Yeshua said to them, "Yes, indeed! I tell you it wasn't Moshe who gave you the bread from heaven. But my Father is giving you the genuine bread from heaven;
33
for God's bread is the one who comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world."
34
They said to him, "Sir, give us this bread from now on."
