“Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.”
Jesus answered, 'Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. — Jesus probes motivation: the crowd seeks him not because of understanding signs (semeia) but because of satisfied bellies (chortathenai). The sign points beyond itself; materialism obscures spiritual reality.
