    The Word Became Flesh1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2Hewas with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing wasmade that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.  Thelight shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not o!er"omeit.

    # There was a man sent from God whose name was $ohn. %He "ame as a witness to testif&

    "on"erning that light, so that through him all might belie!e. 'He himself was not the light;he "ame onl& as a witness to the light.( The true light that gi!es light to e!er&one was "oming into the world. 1)He was in the

    world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not re"ogni*e him.11He"ame to that whi"h was his own, but his own did not re"ei!e him. 12 +et to all who didre"ei!e him, to those who belie!ed in his name, he ga!e the right to be"ome "hildren of God 13"hildren born not of natural des"ent, nor of human de"ision or a husband-s will, butborn of God.

    14 The Word be"ame esh and made his dwelling among us. We ha!e seen his glor&, theglor& of the one and onl& /on, who "ame from the 0ather, full of gra"e and truth.

    1$ohn testied "on"erning him. He "ried out, sa&ing, This is the one I soke about whenI said, 5He who "omes after me has surassed me be"ause he was before me.- 671#8ut of hisfullness we ha!e all re"ei!ed gra"e in la"e of gra"e alread& gi!en. 1%0or the law was gi!enthrough 9oses; gra"e and truth "ame through $esus :hrist. 1'o one has e!er seen God, butthe one and onl& /on, who is himself God andis in "losest relationshi with the 0ather, hasmade him known.
