John 1:1-9

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

2 He was with God in the beginning.

3 All things were made by him, and nothing was made without him.

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

5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it.

6 There was a man named Johnn who was sent by God.

7 He came to tell people the truth about the Light so that through him all people could hear about the Light and believe.

8 John was not the Light, but he came to tell people the truth about the Light.

9 The true Light that gives light to all was coming into the world!
