John 1:1-11

1 In the beginning was the word, and the word was at God, and God was the word. [In the beginning was the word, that is, God's Son, and the word was at God, and God was the word.]

2 This was in the beginning at God.

3 All things were made by him, and without him was made nothing [nought], that thing that was made.

4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men;

5 and the light shineth in darknesses, and [the] darknesses comprehended not it.

6 A man was sent from God, to whom the name was John.

7 This man came into witnessing, that he should bear witnessing of the light, that all men should believe by him.

8 He was not that light, but that he should bear witnessing of the light.

9 There was a very light, which lighteneth each man that cometh into this world [that lighteth each man coming into this world].

10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11 He came into his own things, and his received him not.
