John 8:37
Douay-Rheims
I know that you are the children of Abraham: but you seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
Augustine of Hippo
(Tr. xlii. 1) That is, hath not place in your heartc, because your heart does not take it in. The word of God to the believing, is like the hook to the fish; it takes when it is taken: and that not to the injury of those who are caught by it. They are caught for their salvation, not for their destruction.
