Exegesis
The interrogative–particle pair Ti oun {Τί οὖν | Tí oûn} opens the first question, with ti functioning as an accusative interrogative object and oun marking a logical “then” in light of what has just been claimed about the work of God.
The second interrogative clause ti ergazē {τί ἐργάζῃ | tí er-gá-zē} repeats ti, now with the middle-form verb ergazē, and functions as a near-synonymous restatement of the demand, reinforcing their insistence: “What are You working / doing?” In translation, the two related questions are preserved with explicit quotation and parallel English wording, maintaining the inferential connection (“therefore/so”), the purpose structure (“so that we may see and believe”), and the rhetorical force of the repeated “what” that presses Jesus for demonstrable proof.
