Gift of trust: “God does the one great work of trust, and we simply (but really) bring this
already worked and working trust back to his Son.”
(Dale Bruner, 289)
Example - (Mark 9:20-24)
And they brought the boy to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy,
and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth. And Jesus asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And
he said, “From childhood. And it has often cast him into fire and into water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” And Jesus said to him, “‘If you can’! All things
are possible for one who believes.” Immediately the father of the child cried out and said,
“I believe; help my unbelief!” (ESV)

Grammar Lesson with Jesus
Response – A Subject
So they said to him, “Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What
work do you perform? Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written,
‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the
bread from heaven, but my Father is presently giving you the true bread from
heaven. (John 6:30-32)
Response – A Verb
So they said to him, “Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What
work do you perform? Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written,
‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the
bread from heaven, but my Father is presently giving you the true bread from
heaven. (John 6:30-32 – Dale Bruner)
Response – Direct Object
So they said to him, “Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform?
Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” Jesus
then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my
Father is presently giving you the true [authentic] bread from heaven.
(John 6:30-32 ESV)
“Jesus is saying, in effect, ‘Manna cannot compare with The Son of Man. You don’t need another miracle to prove
something. You need to open your eyes to the present miracle you
have right here in front of your face.’” (Bruner 398)
Response – Indirect Object
“For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the [whole] world.” (John 6:33 ESV)
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. (John 20:30-31 ESV)
Looking Forward
Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” (John 6:35 ESV)
