But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish-the very works I am doing-testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.

When Jesus looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward Him, He said to Philip, "Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?"

But He was asking this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.

Philip answered, "Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to have a small piece."

So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum to look for Him.

Jesus replied, "Truly, truly, I tell you, it is not because you saw these signs that you are looking for Me, but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.

Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval."

For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.

For it is My Father's will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And this bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh."

For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.

However, there are some of you who do not believe." (For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray Him.)

He was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For although Judas was one of the Twelve, he was later to betray Jesus.

For no one who wants to be known publicly acts in secret. Since You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world."

For even His own brothers did not believe in Him.

So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and asking, "Where is He?"

Yet no one would speak publicly about Him for fear of the Jews.

If a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses will not be broken, why are you angry with Me for making the whole man well on the Sabbath?

You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come."
