1 ^(A)In the beginning was ^(B)the Word, and the Word was ^(C)with God, and ^(D)the Word was God. ^2 [a]He was in the beginning with God. ^3 (E)All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him ^[b]not even one thing came into being that has come into being. ^4 (F)In Him was life, and the life was ^(G)the Light of mankind. ⁵ And ^(H)the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not ^[c]grasp it.

^9 [a]This was ^(A)the true Light ^[b]that, coming into the world, enlightens every person.

^7 [a]He came ^[b](A)as a witness, to testify about the Light, ^(B)so that all might believe through him.

⁷ but if we ^(A)walk in the Light as ^(B)He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and ^(C)the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

³⁶ While you have the Light, ^(A)believe in the Light, so that you may become ^(B)sons of Light.”

These things Jesus proclaimed, and He went away and ^(C)hid Himself from them.
