| 25 ܘܟܕ ܐܫܟܚܘܗܝ ܒܥܒܪܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܪܒܢ ܐܡܬܝ ܐܬܝܬ ܠܗܪܟܐ ܀ | 25 When they found him on the other side, they said to him, 'Rabbi, when did you come here?' |

| 28 ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܢܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܕܢܦܠܘܚ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀ | 28 Then they said to him, 'What must we do if we are to carry out God's work?' |
| 29 ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܢܘ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܒܡܢ ܕܗܘ ܫܕܪ ܀ | 29 Jesus gave them this answer, 'This is carrying out God's work: you must believe in the one he hassent.' |
| 30 ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܢܐ ܐܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܕܢܚܙܐ ܘܢܗܝܡܢ ܒܟ ܡܢܐ ܤܥܪ ܐܢܬ ܀ | 30 So they said, 'What sign wil you yourself do, the sight of which wil make us believe in you? What workwil you do? |
| 31 ܐܒܗܝܢ ܡܢܢܐ ܐܟܠܘ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܠܚܡܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܐܟܠ ܀ | 31 Our fathers ate manna in the desert; as scripture says: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.' |

| 36 ܐܠܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܚܙܝܬܘܢܢܝ ܘܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀ | 36 But, as I have told you, you can see me and stil you do not believe. |
