John 8:38 Douay-Rheims

I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do the things that you have seen with your father.

Augustine of Hippo

A.D. 354–430 Patristic

(Tr. xlii. 11) Our Lord by His Father wishes us to understand God: as if to say, I have seen the truth, I speak the truth, because I am the truth. If our Lord then speaks the truth which He saw with the Father, it is Himself that He saw, Himself that He speaks; He being Himself the truth of the Father.
