Commentary on John 6:28
'Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?' The crowd's question reveals works-based thinking. They want a list of actions to perform. 'Works of God' (plural) implies multiple requirements. This reflects religious mentality that seeks salvation through achievement. Jesus' answer (verse 29) will redirect from works to work, from doing to believing.
