6:26 Jesus replied, ¹  “I tell you the solemn truth, ²  you are looking for me not because you saw miraculous signs, but because you ate all the loaves of bread you wanted. ³  6:27 Do not work for the food that disappears, ⁴  but for the food that remains to eternal life – the food ⁵  which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has put his seal of approval on him.” ⁶
