John 6:38 Context
36But I said vnto you, that ye also haue seene me, and beleeue not. 37All that the Father giueth mee, shall come to mee; and him that commeth to me, I will in no wise cast out. 38For I came downe from heauen, not to doe mine owne will, but the will of him that sent me. 39And this is the Fathers wil which hath sent me, that of all which he hath giuen mee, I should lose nothing, but should raise it vp againe at the last day. 40And this is the will of him that sent me, that euery one which seeth the Sonne, and beleeueth on him, may haue euerlasting life: and I will raise him vp at the last day.
