  **Show the text**

  40 This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

  41 The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, “I am the bread which came down out of heaven.”

  42 They said, “Isn’t this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, ‘I have come down out of heaven?’ ”

  43 Therefore Jesus answered them, “Don’t murmur among yourselves.

  44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day.
