John 1:5
Douay-Rheims
And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Augustine of Hippo
(de Civit. Dei, l. x. c. 29. circ. fin.) A certain Platonist once said, that the beginning of this Gospel ought to be copied in letters of gold, and placed in the most conspicuous place in every church.
