John 1:1-14.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word. The same was in the beginning with God. All things are made through the same, and without the same nothing is made that is made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not understood. There was a man sent by God, whose name was John. He came to testify that he was the light, so that they might all believe through him. He was not the light, but that he testified of the light. This was the true light that enlightens all people who come into this world. It was in the world, and the world was made by it, and the world knew it not. He came into his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the children of God, who believe on his name. Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, a glory as of the only begotten Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
