22. Altera die, turba quae 22. The next day, the
stabat trans mare, vidit quia multitude that stood on the
navicula alia non erat ibi other side of the sea, saw
nisi una, et quia non that there was no other ship
introisset cum discipulis suis there but one, and that Jesus
Iesus in navim, sed soli had not entered into the ship
discipuli eius abiissent: with his disciples, but that
his disciples were gone away
alone.
23. Aliae vero supervenerunt 23. But other ships came in
naves a Tiberiade, iuxta locum from Tiberias, nigh unto the
ubi manducaverant panem, place where they had eaten the
gratias agente Domino. bread, the Lord giving thanks.
24. Cum ergo vidisset turba 24. When therefore the
quia Iesus non esset ibi, multitude saw that Jesus was
neque discipuli eius, not there, nor his disciples,
ascenderunt in naviculas, et they took shipping, and came
venerunt Capharnaum quaerentes to Capharnaum seeking for
Iesum. Jesus.
22‐24. On the following day, the crowd on the eastern shore seek for Jesus
(verse 24), thinking Him to be still on that side of the lake, inasmuch as
He had not left by the only boat that was there on the preceding evening
(verse 22). Not finding Him, they take boats which had just arrived on the
eastern shore, and cross to the western shore to seek Jesus in Capharnaum,
where He usually abode at this time.
25. Et cum invenissent eum 25. And when they had found
trans mare, dixerunt ei: him on the other side of the
Rabbi, quando huc venisti? sea, they said to him: Rabbi,
when camest thou hither?
25. When they found Jesus, they asked Him when He had come to Capharnaum,
being equally anxious, no doubt, to know _how_ He had come.
26. Respondit eis Iesus, et 26. Jesus answered them and
dixit: Amen, amen dico vobis: said: Amen, amen, I say to
quaeritis me, non quia you, you seek me, not because
vidistis signa, sed quia you have seen miracles, but
manducastis ex panibus, et because you did eat of the
saturati estis. loaves, and were filled.
26. Without answering their question, our Lord takes occasion from the
miracle of the preceding day to raise their thoughts to a higher and more
precious bread than that which He had miraculously given them. But first
He tells them that they followed Him, not because they had realized the
spiritual significance of His miracles, and believed Him to be God, but
merely, He implies, because they hoped for a gross material satisfaction,
such as they had experienced the preceding day. The Greek word, rendered:
_and were filled_, means literally; were satisfied with food, as animals
with fodder.
