6:22-71 The next
day the crowd that was standing on the other side of the sea saw that the
other boat had gone and only one was left. They knew that Jesus did not go in
the boat but that his disciples had gone away on their own. (Then) other boats from Tiberias arrived near the place where they had eaten
the bread after the Lord had given thanks. So, when the crowd saw that neither
Jesus nor his disciples were there they (also) embarked in the boats and
came to Capernaum
looking for Jesus. On finding
him to be on the other side of the sea they said to him "Rabbi how is
it that you have come here?"
Jesus answered them and said "Truly, truly I say to you, you
are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate of the loaves
and were satisfied (with them).
Do not work for food that perishes but (rather) for the food that
remains into eternal life. This
is what the Son of man will give you.
For on this one has God the Father set his seal (of
approval)." They therefore
said to him "What may we do so that we do the works of God?" Jesus answered and said to them
"This is the work of that, that you believe in who has sent that
one." They therefore said
to him " What sign will you work so that we
may see and believe you? What
will you work? Our fathers ate
manna in the desert just as it was written "He gave them bread from
heaven to eat." Jesus
therefore said to them "Truly truly I tell
you it was not Moses who gave you bread from heaven. It was my Father (who did so and) who (also)
gives true bread out of heaven.
The bread of God is the one who comes down out of heaven and gives
life to the world." They
therefore said to him "Lord give us this bread all the
time." Jesus said to them
"I am the bread of life.
Anyone who comes to me will not hunger. The one who believes in me will
never be thirsty. But I I have told you both that you have seen me (who I am)
and yet you do not believe. All
that the Father gives to me will come (about) and the one who comes to me
will by no means be cast outside.
I have come down from heaven not to do my will but the will of the
one who has sent me. And, this
is the will of the one who has sent me, that I
should not lose any of what he has given me, but rather I should raise it
up in the last day. For, it is
the will of my Father that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him
may have eternal life and I will raise him up in the last day. Continued

11:38 Jesus therefore again groaned within
himself. He came to the
tomb. Now this was a cave and
there was a stone lying on it.
Jesus said "Lift up the stone." Martha, the sister of the one who
had died said "Lord by now he would smell for it is the fourth
day." Jesus says to her
"I told you that if you believe you will see the glory of God. Have I not told
you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?" They therefore lifted the stone. "Jesus lifted his eyes up to
and said "Father I thank you that you have heard me. I know that you always hear me. But because of the crowd I have said
this that they may believe that you have sent me." And so after saying these things he
cried out with a great voice "Lazarus, come out." Continued
