1:6¶ There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

1:7The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

1:8He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

1:13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

1:14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
