This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 6:46. Οὐκ ὅτι, not that) By the addition of this declaration it is intimated, that the Father is heard then only, when the Son is heard; and that He is seen then only, when the Son is discerned: ch. Joh 14:9, [Jesus to Philip] “He that hath seen Me, hath seen the Father.”-ἐώρακεν, hath seen) Understand, and hath heard. Comp. the preceding verse, who hath heard (and hath seen). But because to see is a more intimate perception than to hear, the seeing is with elegant propriety ascribed to the Son, the hearing to the believers. Comp. ch. Joh 1:18, “No man hath seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, etc., hath declared Him.”-ὁ ὢν παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ, He who is from God) So ch. Joh 7:29, “I know Him, for I am from Him, and He hath sent Me.”
