John Chrysostom
Catena Aurea · Johannesevangelium 1
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
(Hom. xvi. [xv.] 1.) The text then, No man hath seen God at any time, applies not to the Father only, but also to the Son: for He, as Paul saith, is the Image of the invisible God; but He who is the Image of the Invisible, must Himself also be invisible.
