So they asked Him, "What wonder-work then are you going to perform for us to see and so believe in you? What work are you going to do?

Jesus performed this, the first of His wonder-works, at Cana in Galilee. By it He showed His glorious power, and so His disciples believed in Him.

Now while He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people, because they saw the wonder-works which He was performing, trusted in Him as the Christ.

He came to Jesus one night and said to Him, "Teacher, we know that you have come from God, for no one can perform the wonder-works that you are doing, unless God is with him."

This is the second wonder-work that Jesus performed after He had come back from Judea to Galilee.

And a vast crowd continued to follow Him, for they pressed on to view the wonder-works which He performed for the sick people.

When the people, therefore, saw the wonder-works that He performed, they began to say, "This is surely the prophet who was to come into the world."

Jesus answered them, "I most solemnly say to you, you are looking for me, not because of the wonder-works you saw, but because you ate the loaves and had plenty.

But many of the crowd believed in Him, and said, "When the Christ comes, He will not perform greater wonder-works than He did, will He?"

Then some of the Pharisees said, "This man does not come from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a sinful man perform such wonder- works?" So there was a difference of opinion among them.

And many people came to Him and kept on saying, "John did not perform any wonder-works, but everything he ever said about this man was true."

So the high priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the council, and began to say, "What are we to do? For this man is certainly performing many wonder-works.

This is why the crowd went out to meet Him, because they had heard that He had performed this wonder-work.

Although He had performed so many wonder-works right before their eyes, they did not believe in Him,

Now there are many other wonder-works which Jesus performed in the disciples' presence which are not recorded in this book.

But He answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working.”

We must needs be working the works of him that sent me, while it is, day: There cometh a night, when, no one, can work.

They said, therefore, unto him - What are we to do, that we may be working the works of God?

Be working, not for the food that perisheth, but for the food that endureth unto life age-abiding, - which, the Son of Man, unto you, will give; for upon, the same, hath the Father, even God, set his seal.

So, they placed Jesus' body there, for it was the Day of Preparation and that was the closest grave site. [Note: Since this was the day before the Passover Festival, and the next day was also the regular weekly Sabbath, they had to bury the body before sundown to comply with Jewish restrictions against working on a Sabbath day].

I do not call you servants any longer, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you [My] friends, because I have revealed to you everything that I have heard from My Father.

For the Father loves the Son and shews him all things which he himself does; and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may wonder.

Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and ye all wonder.

Do not wonder that I said to thee, It is needful that ye should be born anew.

Wonder not at this, for an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs shall hear his voice,

The man answered and said to them, "Why, in this is the wonder, that ye do not know whence He is, and He opened my eyes.

Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but it was so that the works of God might be displayed and illustrated in him.

I sent you [disciples] to harvest [a crop] that you did not work on; other people have done the work and you have reaped the results of their work." [Note: This is probably an allusion to the preliminary work of preaching done by John, the Immerser, with results occurring under the preaching of the apostles].
