John 6:39

John 6:39

37 ^aAll that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and ^bthe one who comes to Me I will¹ by no means cast out.

38 For I have come down from heaven, ^anot to do My own will, ^bbut the will of Him who sent Me.

39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, ^athat of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.

40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, ^athat everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

Rejected by His Own

41 The Jews then¹ complained about Him, because He said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.”

42 And they said, ^a“Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”

That of all that which (ina pan o). Literally, "That all which" (see verse John 6:37 for pan o), but there is a sharp anacoluthon with pan left as nominativus pendens.

I should lose nothing (mh apolesw ec autou). Construed with ina, "that I shall not lose anything of it." Apolesw, from apollumi, can be either future active indicative or first aorist active subjunctive as is true also of anasthsw (from anisthmi), "I shall raise up."

At the last day (th esxath emerai). Locative case without en. Only in John, but four times here (John 6:39-40, John 6:44-54) "with the majesty of a solemn refrain." In John 7:37 it is the last day of the feast of tabernacles, but in John 11:24; John 12:48 of the day of judgment as here. Christ is the Agent of the general resurrection in John 5:28 as in I Corinthians 15:22 while here only the resurrection of the righteous is mentioned.
