John 6:38-48

38 "For 1I have come down from heaven, 2not to do My own will, but 3the will of Him who 4sent Me.
39 "This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of 5all that He has given Me I 6lose nothing, but 7raise it up on the last day.
40 "For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who 8beholds the Son and 9believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will 10raise him up on the last day."

Words to the Jews

41 11Therefore the Jews were grumbling about Him, because He said, "I am the bread that 12came down out of heaven."
42 They were saying, "13Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother 14we know? How does He now say, '15I have come down out of heaven '?"
43 Jesus answered and said to them, "Do not grumble among yourselves.
44 "No one can come to Me unless * the Father who sent Me 16draws him; and I will 17raise him up on the last day.
45 "It is written 18in the prophets, '19AND THEY SHALL ALL BE 20TAUGHT OF GOD.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.
46 "21Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father.
47 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes 22has eternal life.
48 "23I am the bread of life.
