22. The next day the crowd that remained on the other side of the lake realized that only one boat had been there. They knew Jesus hadn’t gone with his disciples, but that the disciples had gone alone.

23. Some boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they had eaten the bread over which the Lord had given thanks.

24. When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

28. They asked, "What must we do in order to accomplish what God requires?"
