{1} In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God. {2} The same was in the beginning with God. {3} All
things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
{4} In him was life; and the life was the light of men. {5} And the light
shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. {6} There was a man
sent from God, whose name was John. {7} The same came for a witness, to bear
witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. {8} He was not
that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. {9} That was the true
Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. {10} He was in the
world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. {11} He came
unto his own, and his own received him not. {12} But as many as received him,
to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on
his name: {13} Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man, but of God. {14} And the Word was made flesh, and
dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of
the Father,) full of grace and truth. {15} John bare witness of him, and
cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is
preferred before me: for he was before me. {16} And of his fulness have all we
received, and grace for grace. {17} For the law was given by Moses, but grace
and truth came by Jesus Christ. {18} No man hath seen God at any time; the
only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
