Jubilee Bible

St. John 6:13-31 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

13. Therefore they gathered them together and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over from those that had eaten.

14. Then those men, as they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth the prophet that was to come into the world.

15. Jesus therefore knowing that they would come and take him by force to make him king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.

16. And when evening was come, his disciples went down unto the sea

17. and entered into a ship and were crossing the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

18. And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.

19. So when they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they saw Jesus walking upon the sea and drawing nigh unto the ship, and they were afraid.

20. But he said unto them, I AM; be not afraid.

21. Then they willingly received him into the ship, and immediately the ship was at the land where they went.

22. The day following when the multitude which was on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there except the one in which his disciples had entered and that Jesus had not gone with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples had gone away alone

23. (but other boats came from Tiberias near unto the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks);

24. when the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they also entered into the boats and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.

25. And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when didst thou come here?

26. Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye have seen the signs, but because ye ate of the loaves and were filled.

27. Labour not for the food which perishes, but for the food which abides unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto you, for him has God the Father sealed.

28. Then they said unto him, What shall we do that we might work the works of God?

29. Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe in him whom he has sent.

30. They said therefore unto him, What sign showest thou then that we may see and believe thee? what dost thou work?

31. Our fathers ate manna in the desert, as it is written, He gave them of the bread from the heaven to eat.
