John 5:37 Douay-Rheims

And the Father himself who hath sent me, hath given testimony of me: neither have you heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

1871 Reformed

the Father himself . . . hath borne witness of me--not referring, probably, to the voice of His baptism, but (as seems from what follows) to the testimony of the Old Testament Scripture [CALVIN, LUCKE, MEYER, LUTHARDT, &c.]. neither heard his voice, &c.--never recognized Him in this character. The words are "designedly mysterious, like many others which our Lord uttered" [STIER].
