John Gill
They said therefore unto him,.... Seeing he proposed believing in him as the grand work of God to be done, and what is most acceptable in his sight: what sign showest thou then, that we may see and believe thee?

They said therefore unto him, what sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

Charles H. Spurgeon
They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
