John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:45

Verse 45 45.It is written in the Prophets. Christ confirms by the testimony of Isaiah what he said, that no man can come to him, unless he be drawn by the Father He uses the wordprophets in the plural number, because all their prophecies had been collected into one volume, so that all the prophets might justly be accounted one book. The passage which is here quoted is to be found in Isaiah 54:13, where, speaking of the restoration of the Church, he promises to her, sons taught by the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:46

Verse 46 46.Not that any man hath seen the Father. As he has hitherto magnified the grace of his Father, so now he earnestly directs believers to himself alone. For both must be joined together; that no knowledge of Christ can be obtained, until the Father enlighten by his Spirit those who are by nature blind; and yet that it is in vain to seek God, unless Christ go before; for the majesty of God is so lofty, that the senses of men cannot reach him. Nay, more, all that knowledge of God which... read more

(3) The sequel of the signs . The discussion which follows is closely linked with these two great miracles of power and love. It naturally arises out of them, and refers with great explicitness to the former of them and to its true meaning. The discussion does unquestionably alter its scope as it proceeds, and at John 6:41 and John 6:52 "the Jews" take up a controversy which had previously been conducted by a portion of the crowd who witnessed his mighty works. Jesus declared (1) ... read more

(c) The murmur of the Jews met by additional claim that his " flesh " is the " living bread ." The passage here following resumes the narrative of the impression produced by the extraordinary discourse that had preceded. The question of "the Jews" does not turn at all upon the explanation he had just given to his disciples in John 6:36-40 , but goes back to the theme of John 6:29-36 . "The Jews" need not be restricted to the Jewish or the aristocratic or bigoted portion... read more

Our Lord's explanation of Jewish unbelief. A rupture was clearly near at hand. I. THE MURMURING OF THE JEWS . "The Jews then murmured concerning him, because he said, I am the Bread which came down from heaven." It sprang: 1 . Partly from doubt . ( John 7:12 .) 2 . Partly from contemptuous surprise . 3 . Partly from dissatisfaction . II. THE GROUND OF THEIR MURMURING . "And they said, Is not this Jesus, the Son of Joseph, whose father and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:43-44

Jesus answered £ and said to them , Murmur not among yourselves ; or, with one another . He had searched out a deeper reason for their murmuring than their probable involuntary ignorance of certain miraculous facts. No man can come (is able to come) to me except the Father, who hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day . In the previous utterance "all" which the Father "gives" to the Son "comes" to him, reaches him, enters into close relationship with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:44

The Father draws the soul to Christ. We have to acknowledge a debt of gratitude to God, first for giving and sending his Son to be our Saviour, and then for guiding us unto his Son, in order that in fellowship with him we may experience the blessings of salvation. For in these two ways does the Father furnish us with a complete display of his love; in these two ways does he completely secure our highest good. I. THE DRAWING OF THE SOUL BY THE FATHER . 1 . The soul... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:45

It is written in the prophets ; either in the division of Scripture called "the prophets," or because the substance of the statement is found to pervade the prophets, and to receive express, if not literal, utterance in Isaiah 54:13 . The prophet, on describing the glorious triumphs of the Servant of the Lord in his new kingdom, added ( LXX .), καὶ πάντας τοὺς υἰοὺς σου διδακτοὺς θεοῦ καὶ ἐν πολλῇ εἰρήνη τὰ τέκνα σου , "And all thy sons [I will make] to be taught... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:46

Not that any one hath seen the Father, save he who is from God, he hath seen the Father. "Hearing" and "learning"" do not amount to the beatific vision. "No one [as Jn said, John 1:18 ] hath seen God at any time, the only begotten [Son] who is in the bosom of the Father [ πρὸς τὸν θεόν , John 1:1 ; εἰς τὸν κόλπον , John 1:18 ], he hath declared him" (cf. Matthew 11:27 ). The full revelation of the Father is alone possible to one who is ( παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ ) "forth from... read more
