John 6:36-46

36 Now, I told you that you have seen me but will not believe.
37 Everyone whom my Father gives me will come to me. I will never turn away anyone who comes to me,
38 because I have come down from heaven to do not my own will but the will of him who sent me.
39 And it is the will of him who sent me that I should not lose any of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them all to life on the last day.
40 For what my Father wants is that all who see the Son and believe in him should have eternal life. And I will raise them to life on the last day."
41 The people started grumbling about him, because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."
42 So they said, "This man is Jesus son of Joseph, isn't he? We know his father and mother. How, then, does he now say he came down from heaven?"
43 Jesus answered, "Stop grumbling among yourselves.
44 People cannot come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me; and I will raise them to life on the last day.
45 The prophets wrote, "Everyone will be taught by God.' Anyone who hears the Father and learns from him comes to me. 1
46 This does not mean that anyone has seen the Father; he who is from God is the only one who has seen the Father.
