Exegesis
The infinitive elthein {ἐλθεῖν | el-theîn} “to come” functions as the complementary infinitive to dynatai, with pros {πρός | prós} plus the object me {με | me} specifying movement “toward Me,” that is, toward Jesus.
In context — John 6:44
No one is able to come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.
