John 6:46

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.
