John 1:4-8

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^[a] 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.
