John 6:30 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

John 6:30

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.”

34 ^aThen they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”

35 And Jesus said to them, ^a“I am the bread of life. ^bHe who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never ^cthirst.

36 ^aBut I said to you that you have seen Me and yet ^bdo not believe.

37 ^aAll that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and ^bthe one who comes to Me I will¹ by no means cast out.

What shall we do . . . the works of God—such works as God will approve. Different answers may be given to such a question, according to the spirit which prompts the inquiry. (See Hosea 6:6-8; Luke 3:12-14). Here our Lord, knowing whom He had to deal with, shapes His reply accordingly.
