Yochanan 1:7 In-Context

5 And the Ohr shines in the choshech [TEHILLIM 18:28], and the choshech did not grasp it. [YESHAYAH 9:1]

6 There came an ish haElohim (a man of G-d), having been sent from Hashem. His name was Yochanan.

7 This Yochanan came for an eidus (witness), that he might give solemn edut (testimony) about the Ohr, that kol Bnei Adam might have emunah through him.

8 This ish haElohim was not the Ohr, but he came that he might give solemn edut (testimony) about the Ohr.

9 The Ohr, the Ohr HaAmitti (the True Light), which gives rational haskalah (enlightenment) to kol Bnei Adam (all mankind), was coming into the Olam Hazeh.
