John 8:47 Douay-Rheims

He that is of God, heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God.

Gregory the Great

c. A.D. 540–604 Patristic

(Hom. xviii. in Evang.) Observe here the condescension of God. He who by virtue of His Divinity could justify sinners, deigns to shew from reason, that He is not a sinner. It follows: He that is of God heareth God’s words; ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
