John 6:38-46 New English Translation (NET)

38. For I have come down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me.

39. Now this is the will of the one who sent me – that I should not lose one person of every one he has given me, but raise them all up at the last day.

40. For this is the will of my Father – for everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him to have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”

41. Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began complaining about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,”

42. and they said, “Isn’t this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”

43. Jesus replied, “Do not complain about me to one another.

44. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

45. It is written in the prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who hears and learns from the Father comes to me.

46. (Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God – he has seen the Father.)
