Then the Jews said to him, "What sign do you show to us, since you do this?"

This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.

When the people saw the sign that Jesus did, they said, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world."

So they said to him, "What sign will you perform then, that we may see it and believe you? What work will you do?

And many came to him and they said, "John performed no sign, but all that John said about this man was true."

For this reason the people went to meet him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
