Jesus said to them, "My food is doing the will of him who has sent me, and finishing his work.

I have sent you to reap a harvest on which you have not worked. Other men have worked and you have profited by their work."

But he answered them, "My Father is still at work, and I work too."

You must not work for the food that perishes, but for that which lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, for God the Father has authorized him to do so."

Then they said to him, "What must we do to carry out God's work?"

Jesus answered them, "The work God has for you is to believe in the messenger that he has sent to you."

Then they said to him, "Then what sign do you show for us to see and so come to believe you? What work are you doing?

We must carry on the work of him who has sent me while the daylight lasts. Night is coming, when no one can do any work.

I have done honor to you here on earth, by completing the work which you gave me to do.
