And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

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

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

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

And of his fulness have all we received and grace for grace.

oti o nomoV dia mwsewV edoqh h cariV kai h alhqeia dia ihsou cristou egeneto

For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

qeon oudeiV ewraken pwpote o monogenhV uioV o wn eiV ton kolpon tou patroV ekeinoV exhghsato

No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

John answered them, saying I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
