You left of verse 27 "All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him."

The verses you refer to refers to our Lord Jesus' instructions to His believers.


Jesus qualifies His invitation thusly ...
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
In like manner to these statements of Jesus ...
John 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

It means "all (those who will by my previous decision repent) ye that labor..."

Who will come? Those that are drawn by the father.
