Context of John 6:37

35And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 36But I said to you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will by no means cast out. 38For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39And this is the Father’s will who hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise them up again at the last day.
