John 3:27
Douay-Rheims
John answered, and said: A man cannot receive any thing, unless it be given him from heaven.
Augustine of Hippo
(Tr. xiii. c. 9) Or perhaps John is speaking here of himself: I am a mere man, and have received all from heaven, and therefore think not that, because it has been given me to be somewhat, I am so foolish as to speak against the truth.
