Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on John 6:45

“It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard of the Father, and hath learned, cometh to me.”

“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."”
