John 1:8 In-Context

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7 He came as a witness, in order that he might give testimony concerning the Light--so that all might believe through him.

8 He was not the Light, but he existed that he might give testimony concerning the Light.

9 The true Light was that which illumines every man by its coming into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world came into existence through Him, and the world did not recognize Him.
