"How," they asked, "are we to do the work that God would have us do?"
And a man came up to Jesus, and said: "Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain Immortal life?"
Just then a Student of the Law came forward to test Jesus further. "Teacher," he said, "what must I do if I am to 'gain Immortal Life'?"
Work, not for the food that perishes, but for the food that lasts for Immortal Life, which the Son of Man will give you; for upon him the Father--God himself--has set the seal of his approval."
"The work that God would have you do," answered Jesus, "is to believe in him whom God sent as his Messenger."
Then he led them out, and said: "What must I do to be saved?"
When the people heard this, they were conscience-smitten, and said to Peter and the rest of the Apostles: "Brothers, what can we do?"
"Yet stand up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
