John 8:25
Douay-Rheims
They said therefore to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: The beginning, who also speak unto you.
John Chrysostom
(Hom. liii. 1) He says this, that they may not think that He allows them to talk against Him with impunity, from inability to punish them; or that He is not alive to their contemptuous designs.
