John 6:34-44

34 They said to him, 1"Sir, give us this bread always."
35 Jesus said to them, 2"I am the bread of life; 3whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe.
37 4All that 5the Father gives me will come to me, and 6whoever comes to me I will never cast out.
38 For 7I have come down from heaven, not to do 8my own will but 9the will of him 10who sent me.
39 And 11this is the will of him who sent me, 12that I should lose nothing of 13all that he has given me, but 14raise it up on the last day.
40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who 15looks on the Son and 16believes in him 17should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."
41 So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, 18"I am the bread that came down from heaven."
42 They said, 19"Is not this Jesus, 20the son of Joseph, whose father and mother 21we know? How does he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?"
43 Jesus answered them, "Do not grumble among yourselves.
44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me 22draws him. And 23I will raise him up on the last day.
