Semitic semantics!

It was not 100%. No percentage is given, but from 30-70AD there were three possibilities:
Apostate Jew
Righteous Jew
Christian Jew

One can be taught, yet not learn.

Jhn 6:64 - But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
Jhn 6:65 - And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
Jhn 6:66 - From that [time] many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.​

Which makes my point, all are taught, but only those who both hear and learn react positively. Those who hear without learning are offended. They are elsewhere referred to as fools.

Jhn 6:45 - is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.​

Zechariah said that 2/3 of the Jews who believed in Jesus before the crucifixion fell away. But he brought 1/3 of them through the fire.
