Church Fathers on John 6:29

They understood that the meat, which remains to eternal life, was the work of God: and therefore they ask Him what to do to work the work of God, i.e. obtain the meat: Then said they to Him, What shall we do that we might work the works of God?

Alcuin · 8th century

i.e. By keeping what commandments shall we be able to fulfill the law of God?

Bede · 8th century

But they said this, not that they might learn, and do them, but to obtain from Him another exhibition of His bounty.
