There came a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.
