## John 6:38-40 in Context (Verses 35–43 KJV)
 
 [35 ](/kjv/john/6/35) And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
 
 [36 ](/kjv/john/6/36) But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
 
 [37 ](/kjv/john/6/37) All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
 
 [38 ](/kjv/john/6/38) For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
 
 [39 ](/kjv/john/6/39) And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
 
 [40 ](/kjv/john/6/40) And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
 
 [41 ](/kjv/john/6/41) The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
 
 [42 ](/kjv/john/6/42) And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
 
 [43 ](/kjv/john/6/43) Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
