John 6:65
King James Version
10 Jun 2026
“And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.”

When Jesus teaches His disciples to pray, He begins with the most radical word imaginable — Father. In the ancient world, approaching God as Father was almost unthinkable. Jesus opens the door and says: this is how you come. Not as a subject before a king. As a child before a Father who already knows what you need.
