John:1:1-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In the beginning was the Word ,
and the Word was face to face with God ,
and the Word was God .
*
He was face to face with God in the Beginning .
*
All things came into being through him ,
and apart from him nothing that exists came into being .
*
In him was life ,
and the life was the light of men .
*
And the light is shining in the darkness ,
and the darkness has not overwhelmed it
*
A man came into being ,
sent from God ,
whose name was John .
*
He came as a witness ,
that he might bear testimony concerning the Light -
so that all men might believe through him .
*
He was not the Light ;
it was to bear testimony concerning the Light that he came into being .
*
The true Light ,
which enlightens every man ,
was then coming into the world .
*
He was in the world ,
and through him the world came into being ,
yet the world knew him not .
*
He came to his own creation ,
and his own folk welcomed him not .
