OET (OET-LV) Therefore they_said to_him:
Therefore what sign are_doing you, in_order_that we_may_see and we_may_believe in_you?

OET (OET-RV) “If so,” they said, “what miracle will you do for us to see so that we can believe that you came from God? What can you do?

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 6:22–59: Jesus is the bread that gives life

In this section Jesus spoke in figurative language about how he himself is the source of eternal life. He called himself “the bread of life” and said that people must “eat” his flesh and “drink” his blood. These words caused a lot of argument.

Paragraph 6:28–31

In the previous paragraph Jesus claimed that God approved of him. Now the people who were listening asked Jesus what they could do to do the works of God. Jesus told them to believe in him. The people then asked what miraculous sign he would show them.

6:30a

So they asked Him, “What sign then will You perform,

6:30b

so that we may see it and believe You?

6:30a–b

So they asked Him: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as So here introduces a result. Here, the result is the people’s response to what Jesus had just said. Some English translations do not translate this word. Do what is natural in your language to introduce a result or a response.

What sign then will You perform, so that we may see it and believe You?: This is a rhetorical question. The people used it to challenge Jesus. The people challenged him to show them a miracle. They had just seen the miracle of feeding the five thousand (5000), but they wanted to see a different miracle. Or possibly they were hungry again and just hoped that Jesus would provide another meal.

There are at least two ways to translate this challenge:

then: The Greek word that the BSB translates as then is more literally “therefore.” It introduces what the people thought Jesus should do if he wanted them to believe on him. Some English translations do not explicitly translate this word. If it is more natural in your language, you may leave it implicit, or you may use another word. For example:

So

so that we may see it and believe You?: The phrase so that in this context introduces the purpose of doing a miracle.

Here is another way to translate this clause:

so that when we see it, we can believe you

believe You: Here the phrase is not “believe in you” as was the idea in 6:29. Although Jesus spoke about believing in him, the people just spoke about believing him (what he said). Perhaps they did not understand that God wanted them to trust in Jesus, not just believe what he said.

Here are other ways to translate this clause:

believe what you say

believe that you are from God

6:30c

What will You do?

What will You do?: The people were asking what new miracle Jesus would do for them. It was an unfriendly question that continued the challenge in 6:30a–b.

Here are other ways to translate this question:

What can you do? (NLT)
