How is it that "desiring to do God`s will" results in a person knowing that Jesus` teaching comes from God?

God directs his people seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be open.

The Jews were still under law, as Jesus had not yet died and resurrect. The pharisees perverted the law to suit their interests; it gave the impression that they were perfect in obeying the laws. However, the law was still law, and Jesus first needed to point out the perversions of the law (evil works) in order for Jews to see the original, perfect laws set forth through Moses, and to acknowledge that the perfect laws were impossible for imperfect man to live up to. This acknowledgment would allow Jews to see the need for a Savior. This would have a disastrous effect on the pharisees' authority and their privileged way of life.

Jesus chose His twelve disciples, including the devil, Judah. The others were offended by the talk of eating flesh and drinking blood, however, I suspect that they were disenchanted by the total message which lacked words of a secular king preparing to war against the oppressor. They wanted an earthly warrior to lead them, not a man who talked about eating flesh and drinking blood.
