John 6:44

42 They were asking, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then can He say, ‘I have come down from heaven?’”

43 “Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus replied.

“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

45 It is written in the Prophets: ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from Him comes to Me—

46 not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God; only He has seen the Father.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
