Augustine of Hippo
Catena Aurea · Johannesevangelium 1
All things were made by him And without him was not any thing made
(de Natura boni, c. 25) The folly of those men is not to be listened to, who think nothing is to be understood here as something, because it is placed at the end of the sentence1: as if it made any difference whether it was said, without Him nothing was made, or, without Him was made nothing.
