44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
44 "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.
44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
44 You're not in charge here. The Father who sent me is in charge. He draws people to me - that's the only way you'll ever come. Only then do I do my work, putting people together, setting them on their feet, ready for the End.
44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
44 For no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me, and at the last day I will raise them up.
65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
65 He went on to say, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them."
65 And he said, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father."
65 He went on to say, "This is why I told you earlier that no one is capable of coming to me on his own. You get to me only as a gift from the Father."
65 And He said, "Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father."
65 Then he said, "That is why I said that people can't come to me unless the Father gives them to me."
(Read John 6:60-65)
The human nature of Christ had not before been in heaven, but being God and man, that wondrous Person was truly said to have come down from heaven. The Messiah's kingdom was not of this world; and they were to understand by faith, what he had said of a spiritual living upon him, and his fulness. As without the soul of man the flesh is of no value, so without the quickening Spirit of God all forms of religion are dead and worthless. He who made this provision for our souls, alone can teach us these things, and draw us unto Christ, that we may live by faith in him. Let us apply to Christ, thankful that it is declared that every one who is willing to come unto him shall be made welcome.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 6:44
Commentary on John 6:36-46
(Read John 6:36-46)
The discovery of their guilt, danger, and remedy, by the teaching of the Holy Spirit, makes men willing and glad to come, and to give up every thing which hinders applying to him for salvation. The Father's will is, that not one of those who were given to the Son, should be rejected or lost by him. No one will come, till Divine grace has subdued, and in part changed his heart; therefore no one who comes will ever be cast out. The gospel finds none willing to be saved in the humbling, holy manner, made known therein; but God draws with his word and the Holy Ghost; and man's duty is to hear and learn; that is to say, to receive the grace offered, and consent to the promise. None had seen the Father but his beloved Son; and the Jews must expect to be taught by his inward power upon their minds, and by his word, and the ministers whom he sent among them.
