This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
For a sign (sēmeion). Predicate accusative, as a sign, with ti (what). As if the sign of the day before was without value. Jesus had said that they did not understand his signs (Joh 6:26).
That we may see, and believe thee (hina idōmen kai pisteusōmen). Purpose clause with hina and the second aorist (ingressive) active subjunctive of horaō and the first aorist (ingressive) active subjunctive of pisteuō, “that we may come to see and come to have faith in thee.” It is hard to have patience with this superficial and almost sneering mob.
What workest thou? (Ti ergazēi). They not simply depreciate the miracle of the day before, but set up a standard for Jesus.
