"And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that of everything that He has given Me I will lose nothing, but will raise it up on the last day.

"No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.

"It is written in the Prophets: 'AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.

"The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him.
