The Eternal Word
1 In the beginning awas the Word, and the bWord was cwith God, and the Word was dGod.
2 aHe was in the beginning with God.
3 aAll things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
4 aIn Him was life, and bthe life was the light of men.
5 And athe light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not1 comprehend it.
John’s Witness: The True Light
6 There was a aman sent from God, whose name was John.
7 This man came for a awitness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might bbelieve.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that aLight.
9 aThat1 was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and athe world did not know Him.
11 aHe came to His1 own, and His own did not receive Him.
12 But aas many as received Him, to them He gave the1 right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
13 awho were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
The Word Becomes Flesh
14 aAnd the Word bbecame cflesh and dwelt among us, and dwe beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, efull of grace and truth.
15 aJohn bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, b‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, cfor He was before me.’ ”
16 And of His afullness we have all received, and grace for grace.
17 For athe law was given through Moses, but bgrace and ctruth came through Jesus Christ.
