Context of John 6:42

40These are the people who will have life for ever with God: everyone who sees the Son and believes in him. I will raise them all up on the last day. That is what my Father wants.’ 41Jesus had said, ‘I am the bread that came down from heaven.’ When he said this, the Jewish leaders there did not like it. So they started to say bad things about Jesus. They said, ‘This is Jesus, the son of Joseph. We know his father and his mother. He should not say that he came down from heaven.’ 43Jesus answered, ‘Stop saying these bad things about me to each other. 44The Father has sent me. Nobody can come to me unless the Father brings them to me. I will raise those people up on the last day, so that they have life for ever.
