)]

ORIGEN
OF ALEXANDRIA (circa 185-253 C.E.): “...Thus also here,
if all things were made [Gk.,
( διὰ
)]
( THROUGH
) the Word, they were not made [Gk.,
( ύπὸ
)] (
BY
) the Word, but [Gk.,
( ύπὸ
)] (
BY
) one more powerful and greater than the Word...” -

EUSEBIUS
OF
CAESAREA (circa. 260-340 C.E. ): “...And
when he says, in one place,[John 1:10] that the world, and in
another,[John 1:3] that all things, were made [Gk.,
( διὰ
)](
THROUGH
HIM ), he
declares the ministration of the Word ( to ) God. For,
when the Evangelist might have said, “All things were made
[Gk.,
( ύπὸ
)] (
BY HIM
),” and again, “The world was made [Gk.,
( ύπὸ
)] (
BY HIM ),”
he has not said, [Gk.,
( ύπὸ
)] “(
BY HIM
),” but, [Gk.,
( διὰ
)]
“( THROUGH
HIM ),” in
order that he might raise our conceptions to the underived power of
the Father as the original ( cause ) of all things...” - (Book

CORNELIUS
LAPIDE (circa. 1567-1637 C.E.): “...You will
ask, - ( WHY THEN ) - does S. John use the preposition Gk.,
( διὰ
) Ltn., (
per ), or “...through...”
instead
of
Gk., ( ύπὸ
)
“...by...”
when he says that all things were made Gk.,
( διὰ
)
through
Him?...” - (Notes on John 1:3,
