Context of John 6:43

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. 42They 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.’ Jesus 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. 45The prophets wrote in the Bible, “God will teach all the people.” Everyone who hears the Father's message and learns from him will come to me.

The Father's will is, that not one of those who were given to the Son, should be rejected or lost by him.

"What can this mean? Do we not know all about Him--where, when, and of whom He was born? And yet He says He came down from heaven!"Read the comment
