John 1:9

9 This was the true light, which gives light to everyone entering the world.

John 1:9 In-Context

7 He came to be a testimony, to bear witness concerning the light; so that through him, everyone might put his trust in God and be faithful to him.

8 He himself was not that light; no, he came to bear witness concerning the light.

9 This was the true light, which gives light to everyone entering the world.

10 He was in the world -- the world came to be through him -- yet the world did not know him.

11 He came to his own homeland, yet his own people did not receive him.
