John 6 — Context

34

Ah, Lord, they said, give us that bread for ever!

35

And this was the answer of Jesus: I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never be in need of food, and he who has faith in me will never be in need of drink.

36

But it is as I said to you: you have seen me, and still you have no faith.

37

Whatever the Father gives to me will come to me; and I will not send away anyone who comes to me.

38

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

39

And this is the pleasure of him who sent me, that I am not to let out of my hands anything which he has given me, but I am to give it new life on the last day.

40

This, I say, is my Father's pleasure, that everyone who sees the Son and has faith in him may have eternal life: and I will take him up on the last day.
