John 1:1-18

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

2He was with God in the beginning.

3All things were made through Him, and apart from Him nothing was made that has come into being.

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

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

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

7He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that through him everyone might believe.

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

9The true light, coming into the world, gives light to every man.

10He was in the world, and the world was made through Him; but the world did not know Him.

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

12But whoever did receive Him, those trusting in His name, to these He gave the right to become children of God.

13They were born not of a bloodline, nor of human desire, nor of man’s will, but of God.

14And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. We looked upon His glory, the glory of the one and only from the Father, full of grace and truth.

15John testifies about Him. He cried out, saying, “This is He of whom I said, ‘The One who comes after me is above me, because He existed before me.’”

16Out of His fullness, we have all received grace on top of grace.

17Torah was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Yeshua the Messiah.

18No one has ever seen God; but the one and only God, in the Father’s embrace, has made Him known.
