23
Then some boats from Tiberias3 landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.4
24
Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of Jesus.

On him God the Father has placed his seal11 of approval." 28 Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?" 29 Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe12 in the one he has sent."13 30 So they asked him, "What miraculous sign14 then will you give that we may see it and believe you?15 What will you do?Scripture quoted by permission.
