John 1:5-9

5And 1the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not 2grasp it.

6A man 3came, one sent from God, and his name was 4John. 7 5He came 6 7as a witness, to testify about the Light, 8so that all might believe through him. 8 9 10He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

9 11This was 12the true Light 13that, coming into the world, enlightens every person.
