John 1:18 Douay-Rheims

No man hath seen God at any time: the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

(Hom. xv. [xiv.] 1) That very existence which is God, neither Prophets, nor even Angels, nor yet Archangels, have seen. For enquire of the Angels; they say nothing concerning His Substance; but sing, Glory to God in the highest, and Peace on earth to men of good will. (Luke 2:1) Nay, ask even Cherubim and Seraphim; thou wilt hear only in reply the mystic melody of devotion, and that heaven and earth are full of His glory. (Is. 6:3)
