So you are hearing the harmonious music of the Holy Spirit
which testifies through many varied persons to the eternity of the Word. For
this reason, the Apostle John begins with the eternity of the Word, saying, “In
the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”
(John 1.1). He wants to show the eternity of the Word by using these three
phrases testifying one after another.
Translated by Daniel Noonan under the supervision of Prof. Glen L. Thompson
