JOHN 6:43-47 NKJV

Jesus therefore answered and said to them, “Do not murmur among yourselves. No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me. Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father. Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.
JOHN 6:43-47 NKJV

John 6:42 the son of Joseph: The religious leaders’ proof that Jesus was not from heaven was that they knew His parents. To them, there was nothing supernatural about Jesus’ origin.
John 6:43–44 Jesus returns to His message of life. In order for a person to come to the Bread of Life, the Father must draw him. This verb (Gk. helkuō) is also translated “draw” in the sense of dragged (Acts 16:19; 21:30). People cannot be saved at all unless God through the Holy Spirit draws them.
John 6:45 God draws people by teaching them. Everyone, then, who hears and learns from the Father will come to Christ.
John 6:46, 47 Hearing and learning (v. 45) fall short of seeing the Father. John declares, “No one has seen God at any time” (1:18; 5:37). Here Jesus adds that only the Son has seen the Father. Though a person has not seen the Father, he or she can believe in Christ and have everlasting life.
