John 6:35-45

35 Then Jesus said, "I am the bread that gives life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
36 But as I told you before, you have seen me and still don't believe.
37 The Father gives me my people. Every one of them will come to me, and I will always accept them.
38 I came down from heaven to do what God wants me to do, not what I want to do.
39 Here is what the One who sent me wants me to do: I must not lose even one whom God gave me, but I must raise them all on the last day.
40 Those who see the Son and believe in him have eternal life, and I will raise them on the last day. This is what my Father wants."
41 The Jews began to complain about Jesus because he said, "I am the bread that comes down from heaven."
42 They said, "This is Jesus, the son of Joseph. We know his father and mother. How can he say, 'I came down from heaven'?"
43 But Jesus answered, "Stop complaining to each other.
44 The Father is the One who sent me. No one can come to me unless the Father draws him to me, and I will raise that person up on the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.
