João 6:28 Meaning and Commentary

John 6:28

Then said they unto him
Understanding by what he said, that they must labour and work, though not for perishing food, yet for durable food; and as they imagined, in order to obtain eternal life by working:

João 6:28 In-Context

26 Jesus respondeu: “A verdade é que vocês estão me procurando, não porque viram os sinais milagrosos, mas porque comeram os pães e ficaram satisfeitos.

27 Não trabalhem pela comida que se estraga, mas pela comida que permanece para a vida eterna, a qual o Filho do homem dará a vocês. Deus, o Pai, nele colocou o seu selo de aprovação”.

28 Então perguntaram-lhe: “O que precisamos fazer para realizar as obras que Deus requer?”

29 Jesus respondeu: “A obra de Deus é esta: crer naquele que ele enviou”.

30 Então perguntaram-lhe: “Que sinal milagroso mostrarás para que o vejamos e creiamos em ti? Que farás?
