    1¶ The Prologue to the Gospel In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was fully God.

    2The Word was with God in the beginning.

    3All things were created by him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created.

    4In him was life, and the life was the light of mankind.

    5And the light shines on in the darkness, but the darkness has not mastered it.

    6A man came, sent from God, whose name was John.

    7He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that everyone might believe through him.

    8He himself was not the light, but he came to testify about the light.

    9The true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.

    10He was in the world, and the world was created by him, but the world did not recognize him.

    12But to all who have received him– those who believe in his name– he has given the right to become God’s children

    13– children not born by human parents or by human desire or a husband’s decision, but by God.

    14Now the Word became flesh and took up residence among us. We saw his glory– the glory of the one and only, full of grace and truth, who came from the Father.

    15John testified about him and shouted out,“This one was the one about whom I said,‘He who comes after me is greater than I am, because he existed before me.’”

    16For we have all received from his fullness one gracious gift after another.

    17For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came about through Jesus Christ.

    18No one has ever seen God. The only one, himself God, who is in closest fellowship with the Father, has made God known.
