Tertullian of Carthage
AD 220
Read the testimony of John: "That which we have seen, which we have heard, which we have looked upon with our eyes, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life."

"That "says John, "which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life."
