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.

He (ekeinov). "That one," i.e. John. He was a light (John 5:35) as all believers are (Matthew 5:14), but not "the light" (to fwv).

But came (all). No verb in the Greek, to be supplied by repeating hlqen of verse John 1:7. See similar ellipses in John 9:3; John 13:18; John 15:25. In Johannine fashion we have the final ina clause of verse John 1:7 repeated.
