Original sentence: Augustine wrote in Book 18, Chapter 46 of The City of God  (one of his most celebrated works along with the The Confessions): "The Jews who slew Him, and would not believe in Him, because it behooved Him to die and rise again, were yet more miserably wasted by the Romans, and utterly rooted out from their kingdom, where aliens had already ruled over them, and were dispersed through the lands (so that indeed there is no place where they are not), and are thus by their own Scriptures a testimony to us that we have not forged the prophecies about Christ.Thomas Aquinas took much from Augustine's theology while creating his own unique synthesis of Greek and Christian thought
