John 1:1-6

1 In [the] beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 *He* was in the beginning with God.

3 All things received being through him, and without him not one [thing] received being which has received being.

4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. ^[a]

5 And the light appears in darkness, and the darkness apprehended it not.

6 There was a man sent from ^[b] God, his name John.
