John 1:1-11 ▼

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 This One was in the beginning with God.

3 All things came into being through Him, and without Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being.

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

5 And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.

6 There was a man sent from God; His name was John.

7 This one came for testimony, so that he might testify concerning the Light, so that all might believe through him.

8 That one was not the Light, but it is so that he might testify concerning the Light.

9 The true Light who enlightens every man was coming into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world came into being through Him, and the world did not know Him.

11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
