The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 50: John: The Challoner Revision
Bible. John
6:10. Then Jesus said: Make the men sit down. Now, there was much grass
in the place. The men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand.
6:11. And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he
distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the
fishes, as much as they would.
6:12. And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: gather up the
fragments that remain, lest they be lost.
6:13. They gathered up therefore and filled twelve baskets with the
fragments of the five barley loaves which remained over and above to
them that had eaten.
6:14. Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done,
said: This is of a truth the prophet that is to come into the world.
6:15. Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by
force and make him king, fled again into the mountains, himself alone.
6:16. And when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea.
6:17. And when they had gone up into a ship, they went over the sea to
Capharnaum. And it was now dark: and Jesus was not come unto them.
6:18. And the sea arose, by reason of a great wind that blew.
6:19. When they had rowed therefore about five and twenty or thirty
furlongs, they see Jesus walking upon the sea and drawing nigh to the
ship. And they were afraid.
6:20. But he saith to them: It is I. Be not afraid.
6:21. They were willing therefore to take him into the ship. And
presently the ship was at the land to which they were going.
6:22. The next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the
sea saw that there was no other ship there but one: and that Jesus had
not entered into the ship with his disciples, but that his disciples
were gone away alone.
6:23. But other ships came in from Tiberias, nigh unto the place where
they had eaten the bread, the Lord giving thanks.
6:24. When therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his
disciples, they took shipping and came to Capharnaum, seeking for Jesus.
6:25. And when they had found him on that other side of the sea, they
said to him: Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
6:26. Jesus answered them and said: Amen, amen, I say to you, you seek
me, not because you have seen miracles, but because you did eat of the
loaves and were filled.
6:27. Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which
endureth unto life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you. For
him hath God, the Father, sealed.
6:28. They said therefore unto him: What shall we do, that we may work
the works of God?
6:29. Jesus answered and said to them: This is the work of God, that you
believe in him whom he hath sent.
6:30. They said therefore to him: What sign therefore dost thou shew
that we may see and may believe thee? What dost thou work?
6:31. Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave
them bread from heaven to eat.
