got into a boat, and went back across the lake toward Capernaum. Night came on, and Jesus still had not come to them.

Other boats, which were from Tiberias, came to shore near the place where the crowd had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

The Jewish authorities were looking for him at the festival. "Where is he?" they asked.

Jesus knew everything that was going to happen to him, so he stepped forward and asked them, "Who is it you are looking for?"

"Jesus of Nazareth," they answered. "I am he," he said. Judas, the traitor, was standing there with them.

"Woman, why are you crying?" Jesus asked her. "Who is it that you are looking for?" She thought he was the gardener, so she said to him, "If you took him away, sir, tell me where you have put him, and I will go and get him."

and when they found him, they said, "Everyone is looking for you."

When Jesus returned to the other side of the lake, the people welcomed him, because they had all been waiting for him.
