Whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.' 36 'But as I told you, you have seen me, and yet you do not believe.' 37 'All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.' 38 'For I have come down from heaven not to do my will, but the will of him who sent me.' 39 'And this is the will of him who sent me: that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up on the last day.' 40 For this is the will of my Father: that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day. 41 At this, the Jews began to grumble about him because he said, 'I am the bread that came down from heaven.' 42 They said, 'Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know?
