Him, and without Him was made nothing that was made. In Him was life, and the
life was the light of
men : and the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
There was a man
sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to give
testimony of the light,
that all men might believe through him. He was not the light, but was to give
testimony of the
light. That was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into
this world. He
was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He
came unto His own,
and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, He gave them power to
be made the sons
of God : to them that believe in His Name : who are born, not of blood, nor of
the will of the
flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (Here
all genuflect.) AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and
dwelt among us: and we saw His glory, as it were the glory of the only begotten
of the Father, full
of grace and truth.
