John 6:26
Compare all
24 when the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they also got into boats and came to Capernaum, aseeking Jesus.  
25 And when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when did You come here?”
26 Jesus answered them and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.
27 aDo not labor for the food which perishes, but bfor the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, cbecause God the Father has set His seal on Him.”  
28 Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”
29 Jesus answered and said to them, a“This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”  
30 Therefore they said to Him, a“What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do?  
31 aOur fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, b‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ”

John 6:26

Not because ye saw signs (oux oti eidete shmeia). Second aorist active indicative of the defective verb oraw. They had seen the "signs" wrought by Jesus (verse John 6:2), but this one had led to wild fanaticism (verse John 6:14) and complete failure to grasp the spiritual lessons.

But because ye ate of the loaves (all oti efagete ek twn artwn). Second aorist active indicative of esqiw, defective verb.

Ye were filled (exortasqhte). First aorist passive indicative of xortazw, from xortov (grass) as in verse John 6:10, to eat grass, then to eat anything, to satisfy hunger. They were more concerned with hungry stomachs than with hungry souls. It was a sharp and deserved rebuke.
