Accordingly, when the crowd saw that neither Yeshua nor his talmidim were there, they themselves boarded the boats and made for K'far-Nachum in search of Yeshua.

Yeshua answered, "Yes, indeed! I tell you, you're not looking for me because you saw miraculous signs, but because you ate the bread and had all you wanted!

Don't work for the food which passes away but for the food that stays on into eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For this is the one on whom God the Father has put his seal."

They said to him, "Nu, what miracle will you do for us, so that we may see it and trust you? What work can you perform?

for God's bread is the one who comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world."

Yeshua said to them, "My time has not yet come; but for you, any time is right.

You, go on up to the festival; as for me, I am not going up to this festival now, because the right time for me has not yet come."

At the festival, the Judeans were looking for him. "Where is he?" they asked.

However, no one spoke about him openly, for fear of the Judeans.

A person who speaks on his own is trying to win praise for himself; but a person who tries to win praise for the one who sent him is honest, there is nothing false about him.

You will look for me and not find me; indeed, where I am, you cannot come."

And when he says, ‘You will look for me and not find me; indeed, where I am, you cannot come' — what does he mean?"
