John 1:1-11 ▼

1 IN the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD, was with God, and the WORD was God.

2 He was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him, and without him not one thing was made that now exists.

4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness comprehends it not.

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7 This man came as a witness, to testify of the Light, that all through him might believe.

8 He was not the Light; but he came to testify of the Light.

9 He was the true Light, which, coming into the world, gives light to every man.

10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11 He came to his own country, and his own people received him not.
