John 6:42
Compare all
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’?”  
43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them,1 “Do not murmur among yourselves.  
44 aNo one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me bdraws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.  
45 It is written in the prophets, a‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ bTherefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.  
46 aNot that anyone has seen the Father, bexcept He who is from God; He has seen the Father.
