Saviour--as attract the unsatisfied heart to himself; but that he makes the soul willing in the day of his power, working in us both to will and to do of his good pleasure (Ps. 110:3; Phil. 2:13).--=It is written in the prophets= (Isa. 54:13), =They shall be all taught of God=. The _all_ here appears clearly from the reference in Isaiah to be all the children of God, not all humanity.--=Every one, therefore, hearing from the Father and learning, comes unto me.= Emphasis is placed by the structure of the sentence in the original Greek on the word _learning_. The Pharisees heard, but they did not learn. He that does not reverently recognize the divine glory in the life and character of Christ, who sees no beauty in him that he should desire him, does not possess true piety, has not heard and learned of God. 46 Not[236] that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God,[237] he hath seen the Father. [236] ch. 5:37. [237] Luke 10:22. =46. Not that any one has seen the Father.= The object of this verse, which is parenthetical, seems to be to guard the Jews against an unspiritual interpretation of his words.--=Save he which is from God.= Evidently Jesus refers to himself.

[238] verse 40. 48 I[239] am that bread of life. [239] verses 33, 35, 51.
