This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the light, that all men might believe through him.

Bede the Venerable

c. A.D. 672–735 Patristic

(Bed. in loc.) He saith not, that all men should believe in him; for, cursed be the man that trusteth in man; (Jer. 17:5) but, that all men through him might believe; i. e. by his testimony believe in the Light.
