Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel — Jesus responds to their denial by referencing his healing miracle (the healing of the lame man at Bethesda in chapter 5). That single work has caused astonishment (thaumazō) throughout the crowd. By 'one work,' he means the miracle of healing on the Sabbath, which triggered the authorities' murderous intent. The marvel of the people and the murderous plotting of the authorities spring from the same event—a sign that creates division.
