In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was with God and the Word was God.

He was in the beginning with God.

All things came into being through him,

and without him nothing came to be.

What came to be,

through him was life;

And this life was the light of all people,

light that shines in darkness,

light that darkness could not overcome.

A man came, sent by God; his name was John.

He came to bear witness, as a witness to introduce the light, so that all might believe through him.

He was not the light,

but a witness to introduce the light;

for the light was coming into the world,

the true light that enlightens everyone.

He was in the world

and through him, the world was made,

but the world did not know him.

He came to what was his own,

yet his own people did not accept him.

But to all who received him,

he empowers to become children of God,

for they believe in his name.

These are born, but not of blood

or the will of the flesh, nor by the will of man,

but of God.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us;

and we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s only Son,

full of grace and truth.

John bore witness to him openly saying, “This is the one who comes after me, but he is already ahead of me, for he was before me.”

From his fullness we have all received,

grace upon grace.

For God had given us the law through Moses,

but grace and truth

came through Jesus Christ.

No one has ever seen God,

The only Son, God,

who is at the Father’s side,

has made him know.
