John 1:4-11

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

5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

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

7He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him.

8He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.

9The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.

10He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him.

11He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him.
