John 6:45

“It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught of God'. Every one who has heard from the Father and has learned, comes to me.”

He now called on Scripture to back up what He had said. He reminded them that the Scripture specifically promises, ‘and they shall all be taught by God' (Isaiah 54:13). This was a promise made by Isaiah in respect of the coming age of blessing, and Jesus was saying that that time was now here. Those who hear and learn from the Father will come to Him and enjoy the blessing of the coming age.

All therefore who are God's will be taught of God. They will hear the Father speaking to them, will learn from Him, and will recognise Jesus Himself as the fulfilment of the promises. Such teaching is effective teaching, for it is God Who teaches. It results not only in learning but in obeying. The Judaisers' refusal to be taught by God about Him merely demonstrates that they are not of God's genuine people.

‘The Prophets.' This is the second collection of sacred writings after ‘the Law', and includes the earlier ‘historical' books and the major and minor prophets, possibly but not necessarily excluding Daniel. (We are not sure whether the Jews originally placed Daniel in the Prophets, or in the third section of Scripture which was called the Hagiographa, ‘the holy writings'. There is evidence both ways)
