John 6:46

John 6:46

44 ^aNo one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me ^bdraws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

45 It is written in the prophets, ^a‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ ^bTherefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.

46 ^aNot that anyone has seen the Father, ^bexcept He who is from God; He has seen the Father.

47 Most assuredly, I say to you, ^ahe who believes in Me has everlasting life.

48 ^aI am the bread of life.

49 ^aYour fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

50 ^aThis is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.

<< John 6:45

John 6:47 >>

Not that any man hath seen the Father - He does not teach men by appearing personally before them, or by any other outward voice than that of his word and messengers; but he teaches by his Spirit. This teaching from God implies:

1.That they shall have proper instruction.

2.That they shall comprehend it; for, when God teaches, there is no delay in learning. And,

3.That this teaching should be by the influence of the Holy Ghost upon their minds.

He which is of God - That is, Christ alone: neither Moses nor any of the prophets had ever seen God: Jesus, who lay in the bosom of the Father, He saw and revealed him, John 1:18.
