Gospel
text (John 6,22-29):
After Jesus had fed the five thousand, his disciples saw him walking on the
water. Next day the people who had stayed on the other side realized that only
one boat had been there and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples;
rather, the disciples had gone away alone. Bigger boats from Tiberias came near
the place where all these people had eaten the bread. When they saw that
neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to
Capernaum looking for Jesus.
When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, «Master, when did you come here?». Jesus answered, «Truly, I say to you, you look for me, not because you have seen through the signs, but because you ate bread and were satisfied. Work then, not for perishable food, but for the lasting food which gives eternal life. The Son of Man will give it to you, for he is the one the Father has marked». Then the Jews asked him, «What shall we do? What are the works that God wants us to do?». And Jesus answered them, «The work God wants is this: that you believe in the One whom God has sent».
