John 6:39-41
New Catholic Bible

that I should lose nothing
of all that he has given me,

may have eternal life,

on the last day.”

- John 6:41 During the period in the wilderness, the Hebrews doubted the Lord and “grumbled” against him; the memory of this had remained as a warning for all time (see Ex 16; Num 11; Ps 106:25).
