Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he has sent.
Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he has sent.
Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
Jesus, answering, said to them, This is to do the work of God: to have faith in him whom God has sent.
Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."

This is the work of God, that ye believe - There is nothing you can be employed in more acceptable to God than in yielding to the evidence set before you, and acknowledging me as your Messiah and the Savior of a lost world.
This is the work of God - This is the thing that will be acceptable to God, or which you are to do in order to be saved. Jesus did not tell them they had nothing to do, or that they were to sit down and wait, but that there was a work to perform, and that was a duty that was imperative. It was to believe on the Messiah. This is the work which sinners are to do; and doing this they will be saved, for Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth, Romans 10:4.
6:29 This is the work of God - The work most pleasing to God, and the foundation of all others: that ye believe - He expresses it first properly, afterward figuratively.
