This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

27. οὐ δύναται. Comp. Joh 19:11. The meaning is disputed; either (1) ‘Jesus could not succeed thus without help from Heaven, and this should satisfy you that He is sent by God;’ or (2) ‘I cannot accept the supremacy which you would thrust on me, because I have not received it from Heaven.’ The former is better, as being a more direct answer to ‘all men come to Him.’ Possibly both meanings are intended.
