“Who are these elders who either came with Joshua/Jesus or after him, if not the very apostles who illumined our hearts by their writings and precepts, even bringing a certain kind of "day" among us from that "true light" in which they were partakers? Whoever, therefore, is enlightened and instructed from the precepts…”
Origen of Alexandria, 3th c. — HOMILIES ON JUDGES 1.2
