The
people who had eaten the loaves said to each other: This really is the
prophet that God is to send into the world. Jesus knew that they wanted to
force him to become their king. So he withdrew to be by himself.
The
next day they came to Capernaum to look for him. They
found him and asked: When did you come here? Jesus answered: I know you are
looking for me because you were given the bread and could eat your fill. But
do not toil for bread that cannot last. Strive for the other bread that
brings you eternal life.
Then
they asked: What does God want of us? Jesus said: God wants only one thing:
That you believe the One he has sent. I am the bread that gives life. Whoever
stays close to me will never be hungry again. He who believes in me will
never thirst again.
