John 6:42 in Context — John 6

40 Y esta es la voluntad del que me ha enviado: Que todo aquel que ve al Hijo, y cree en él, tenga vida eterna: y yo le resucitaré en el día postrero.

41 Murmuraban entonces de él los Judíos, porque había dicho: Yo soy el pan que descendí del cielo.

42 Y decían: ¿No es éste Jesús, el hijo de José, cuyo padre y madre nosotros conocemos? ¿cómo, pues, dice éste: Del cielo he descendido?

43 Y Jesús respondió, y díjoles: No murmuréis entre vosotros.

44 Ninguno puede venir á mí, si el Padre que me envió no le trajere; y yo le resucitaré en el día postrero.
