¹⁴ And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ^(A)‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ”

²⁰ For where two or three are gathered ^(A)together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”

⁵ For ^(A)many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ ^(B)and will deceive many.

The Eternal Word^(A)

1 In the beginning ^(B)was the Word, and the ^(C)Word was ^(D)with God, and the Word was ^(E)God. ^2 (F)He was in the beginning with God. ^3 (G)All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. ^4 (H)In Him was life, and ^(I)the life was the light of men. ⁵ And ^(J)the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not ^[a]comprehend it.

^9 (A)That^[a] was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.

¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and ^(B)the world did not know Him. ^11 (C)He came to His ^[b]own, and His ^[c]own did not receive Him. ¹² But ^(D)as many as received Him, to them He gave the ^[d]right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: ^13 (E)who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

The Word Becomes Flesh

^14 (F)And the Word ^(G)became ^(H)flesh and dwelt among us, and ^(I)we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ^(J)full of grace and truth.

²³ He said: ^(A)“I am

as the prophet Isaiah said.”

^30 (A)I and My Father are one.”

³⁶ do you say of Him ^(A)whom the Father sanctified and ^(B)sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ ^(C)because I said, ‘I am ^(D)the Son of God’?

³⁸ but if I do, though you do not believe Me, ^(A)believe the works, that you may know and ^[a]believe ^(B)that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.”
