I just got a new Greek Lexicon. I have looked up the word draw.. Look at what it means. Clearly this does not happen to everyone.
And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.” Jn 12:32.
ἕλκω impf. εἷλκον, ἧλκον (ApcMos; GJs, s. deStrycker 241f); fut. ἑλκύσω; gener. ‘pull, drag, draw’.
① to move an object from one area to another in a pulling motion, draw, with implication that the object being moved is incapable of propelling itself or in the case of person is unwilling to do so voluntarily, in either case with implication of exertion on the part of the mover τὶ someth. a sword
ἕλκω impf. εἷλκον; the future (ἑλκύσω) and first aorist (εἵλκυσα) are formed as if from ἑλκύω; tug, draw, drag; literally; (1) of a sword draw, unsheath (JN 18.10); (2) of a person, forcibly led drag (AC 21.30); (3) of a net haul, drag (JN 21.6); (4) as a legal technical term lead by force, drag into court (JA 2.6); figuratively, of a strong pull in the mental or moral life draw, attract (JN 6.44)
