John 6:17-27 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

17. and entering into the boat, they were going over the sea toward Kephar Naḥum. And it had already become dark, and יהושע had not yet come to them.

18. And the sea was rising because a great wind was blowing.

19. When they had rowed about five or six kilometres, they saw יהושע walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were afraid.

20. And He said to them, “It is I, do not be afraid.”

21. They wished therefore to take Him into the boat, and at once the boat was at the land where they were going.

22. On the next day, the crowd that was standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there except that one into which His taught ones had entered, and that יהושע had not entered the boat with His taught ones, but His taught ones went away alone –

23. but other boats came from Kinnereth, near the place where they ate bread after the Master had given thanks –

24. therefore when the crowd saw that יהושע was not there, nor His taught ones, they themselves also entered into the boats and came to Kephar Naḥum, seeking יהושע.

25. And having found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did You come here?”

26. יהושע answered 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 labour for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to everlasting life, which the Son of Aḏam shall give you, for the Father, Elohim, has set His seal on Him.”
