John 6:25-27
1599 Geneva Bible
25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26 [a]Jesus answered them, and said, Verily, verily I say unto you, Ye seek me not, because ye saw the miracles, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled.
27 [b]Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for the meat that endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath (A)God the Father [c]sealed.
