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.’ ”
32 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but aMy Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

What Does John 6:30 Mean?
John 6:30-31
They say, in effect, "If You are greater than Moses, then perform a sign greater than that which Moses did when he gave Israel bread from heaven." They obviously do not believe His claim to Messiahship.
