John 6:21-30 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

21. So they were wanting to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat came to the land to which they were going.

22. On the next day, the crowd that was on the other side of the sea saw that other boats were not there (except one), and that Jesus had not entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had departed alone.

23. Other boats from Tiberias came near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

24. So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus.

25. And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”

26. Jesus replied to them and said, “Truly, truly I say to you, you seek me not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were satisfied!

27. Do not work for the food that perishes, but the food that remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has set his seal on this one.”

28. So they said to him, “What shall we do that we can accomplish the works of God?”

29. Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God: that you believe in the one whom that one sent.”

30. So they said to him, “Then what sign will you perform, so that we can see it and believe you? What will you do?
