John 1:1-18

Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha CEBA

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

2 The Word was with God in the beginning.

3 Everything came into being through the Word, and without the Word nothing came into being. What came into being

4 through the Word was life, and the life was the light for all people.

5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness doesn't extinguish the light.

6 A man named John was sent from God.

7 He came as a witness to testify concerning the light, so that through him everyone would believe in the light.

8 He himself wasn't the light, but his mission was to testify concerning the light.

9 The true light that shines on all people was coming into the world.

10 The light was in the world, and the world came into being through the light, but the world didn't recognize the light.

11 The light came to his own people, and his own people didn't welcome him.

12 But those who did welcome him, those who believed in his name, he authorized to become God's children,

13 born not from blood nor from human desire or passion, but born from God.

14 The Word became flesh and made his home among us. We have seen his glory, glory like that of a father's only son, full of grace and truth.

15 John testified about him, crying out, "This is the one of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is greater than me because he existed before me.'"

16 From his fullness we have all received grace upon grace;

17 as the Law was given through Moses, so grace and truth came into being through Jesus Christ.

18 No one has ever seen God. God the only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made God known.

New International Version NIV

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

2 He was with God in the beginning.

3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

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

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

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

7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.

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

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

10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.

11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.

12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—

13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

15 (John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ ”)

16 Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.

17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
