John 1:4-9

4In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.

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 testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.

8He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

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