written in the prophets--in Isa 54:13; Jer 31:33-34; other similar passages may also have been in view. Our Lord thus falls back upon Scripture authority for this seemingly hard saying.
all taught of God--not by external revelation merely, but by internal illumination, corresponding to the "drawing" of Joh 6:44.
Every man therefore, &c.--that is, who hath been thus efficaciously taught of Him.
cometh unto me--with absolute certainty, yet in the sense above given of "drawing"; that is, "As none can come to Me but as divinely drawn, so none thus drawn shall fail to come." |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
In the prophets - Isa 54:13. A similar sentiment is found in Mic 4:1-4, and Jer 31:34; but by the prophets, here, is meant the book of the prophets, and it is probable that Jesus had reference only to the place in Isaiah, as this was the usual way of quoting the prophets.
Shall be all taught of God - This explains the preceding verse. It is by the teaching of his Word and Spirit that men are drawn to God. This shows that it is not compulsory, and that there is no obstacle in the way but a strong voluntary ignorance and unwillingness. |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Taught of God (διδακτοὶ τοῦ Θεοῦ)
The idea is thrown into a compound adjective, θεοδίδακτοι, in Th1 4:9. |

It is written in the prophets - Isa 54:13; Jer 31:34.
They shall be all taught of God - This explains the preceding verse. God teaches a man to know himself, that, finding his need of salvation, he may flee to lay hold on the hope which his heavenly Father has set before him in the Gospel. God draws men by his love, and by showing them what his love has done for them. Fear repels, but love attracts. He who is ever preaching the terrors of the law, and representing God as a vindictive judge, will never bring sinners to him. They are afraid of this terrible God: but they love him, who so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him might not perish, but have everlasting life. |
44 No man [3762] can [1410] come [2064] to [4314] me [3165], except [3362] the Father [3962] which [3588] hath sent [3992] me [3165] draw [1670] him [846]: and [2532] I [1473] will raise [450] him [846] up [450] at the last [2078] day [2250].

13 And all thy children [01121] shall be taught [03928] of the LORD [03068]; and great [07227] shall be the peace [07965] of thy children [01121].
9 But [1161] as touching [4012] brotherly love [5360] ye need [2192] [5532] not [3756] that I write [1125] unto you [5213]: for [1063] ye [5210] yourselves [846] are [2075] taught of God [2312] to [1519] love [25] one another [240].
