John 1:1-14

The Word Became Flesh

1 ^aIn the beginning was ^bthe Word, and ^cthe Word was with God, and ^dthe Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 ^eAll things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 ^fIn him was life, ^{▼▼Or was not any thing made. That which has been made was life in him} and ^hthe life was the light of men. 5 ⁱThe light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

6 There was a man ^jsent from God, whose name was ^kJohn. 7 He came as a ^lwitness, to bear witness about the light, ^mthat all might believe through him. 8 ⁿHe was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.

9 ^oThe true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet ^pthe world did not know him. 11 He came to ^qhis own, ^{▼▼Greek to his own things; that is, to his own domain, or to his own people} and ^shis own people ^{▼▼People is implied in Greek} ^udid not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, ^vwho believed in his name, ^whe gave the right ^xto become ^ychildren of God, 13 who ^zwere born, ^aanot of blood ^abnor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

14 And ^acthe Word ^adbecame flesh and ^aedwelt among us, ^afand we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of ^aggrace and ^ahtruth.
