John 6:34-44

34 They said, "Sir, give us this bread all the time!"

35 Jesus replied, " I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

36 But I told you that you have seen me and still don't believe.

37 Everyone whom the Father gives to me will come to me, and I won't send away anyone who comes to me.

38 I have come down from heaven not to do my will, but the will of him who sent me.

39 This is the will of the one who sent me, that I won't lose anything he has given me, but I will raise it up at the last day.

40 This is my Father's will: that all who see the Son and believe in him will have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day."

41 The Jewish opposition grumbled about him because he said, " I am the bread that came down from heaven."

42 They asked, "Isn't this Jesus, Joseph's son, whose mother and father we know? How can he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven'?"

43 Jesus responded, " Don't grumble among yourselves.

44 No one can come to me unless they are drawn to me by the Father who sent me, and I will raise them up at the last day.
