Context of John 6:37

35Then Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread that gives life to people. Anyone who comes to me will never be hungry. Anyone who believes in me will never be thirsty. 36You have seen me, but still you do not believe in me. I have told you that before. Everyone that the Father gives to me will come to me. When anyone comes to me, I will never send that person away. 38I have not come down from heaven to do what I myself choose to do. No, my Father has sent me. I have come to do what he wants me to do. 39He has sent me. He does not want me to lose any of the people that he has given to me. Not even one of them. He wants me to raise all of them up to life on the last day.
