John:1:1-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In the beginning was the Word ,
and the Word was with God ,
and the Word was God .
*
The same was in the beginning with God .
*
All things were made by him ;
and without him was not any thing made that was made .
*
In him was life ;
and the life was the light of men .
*
And the light shineth in darkness ;
and the darkness comprehended it not . (

comprehended :
or ,
did not admit ,
or ,
receive (:

*
There was a man sent from God ,
whose name John .
*
The same came for a witness ,
to bear witness of the Light ,
that all through him might believe .
*
He was not that Light ,
but to bear witness of that Light .
*
was the true Light ,
which lighteth every man that cometh into the world .
*
He was in the world ,
and the world was made by him ,
and the world knew him not .
*
He came to his own ,
and his own received him not .
*
But as many as received him ,
to them he gave power to become the sons of God ,
to them that believe on his name : (

power :
or ,
the right ,
or ,
privilege (:
note )
*
Who were born ,
not of blood ,
nor of the will of the flesh ,
nor of the will of man ,
but of God .
*
And the Word was made flesh ,
and dwelt among us , (
and we beheld his glory ,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father ,)
full of grace and truth .
*
John bore witness concerning him ,
and cried ,
saying ,
This was he of whom I spoke ,
He that cometh after me is preferred before me :
for he was before me .
*
And of his fulness have we all received ,
and grace for grace .
*
For the law was given by Moses ,
grace and truth came by Jesus Christ .
*
No man hath seen God at any time ;
the only begotten Son ,
who is in the bosom of the Father ,
he hath declared .
