| Geneva Study Bible Not that any man hath seen the Father, {o} save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. (o) If only the Son has seen the Father, then it is only he that can truly teach us and instruct us. People's New Testament 6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father. They are drawn by hearing the word, not by seeing. Wesley's Notes 6:46 Not that any one - Must expect him to appear in a visible shape. He who is from or with God - In a more eminent manner than any creature. Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 46. Not that any man hath seen, &c.-Lest they should confound that "hearing and learning of the Father," to which believers are admitted by divine teaching, with His own immediate access to Him, He here throws in a parenthetical explanation; stating, as explicitly as words could do it, how totally different the two cases were, and that only He who is "from God" hath this naked, immediate access to the Father. (See Joh 1:18). Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 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. |
