Isaiah 52:7-10

English Standard Version

⁷^(A)How beautiful upon the mountains
    are the feet of him who brings good news,
who publishes peace, ^(B)who brings good news of happiness,
    who publishes salvation,
    who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.”
⁸The voice of ^(C)your watchmen—they lift up their voice;
    together they sing for joy;
^(D)for eye to eye they see
    the return of the Lord to Zion.
⁹^(E)Break forth together into singing,
    ^(F)you waste places of Jerusalem,
for ^(G)the Lord has comforted his people;
    he has redeemed Jerusalem.
¹⁰^(H)The Lord has bared his holy arm
    before the eyes of all the nations,
^(I)and all the ends of the earth shall see
    the salvation of our God.

John 1:1-14

English Standard Version

The Word Became Flesh

1 ^(A)In the beginning was ^(B)the Word, and ^(C)the Word was with God, and ^(D)the Word was God. ²He was in the beginning with God. ³^(E)All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. ⁴^(F)In him was life,^[a] and ^(G)the life was the light of men. ⁵^(H)The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

⁶There was a man ^(I)sent from God, whose name was ^(J)John. ⁷He came as a ^(K)witness, to bear witness about the light, ^(L)that all might believe through him. ⁸^(M)He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.

⁹^(N)The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. ¹⁰He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet ^(O)the world did not know him. ¹¹He came to ^(P)his own,^[b] and ^(Q)his own people^[c] ^(R)did not receive him. ¹²But to all who did receive him, ^(S)who believed in his name, ^(T)he gave the right ^(U)to become ^(V)children of God, ¹³who ^(W)were born, ^(X)not of blood ^(Y)nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

¹⁴And ^(Z)the Word ^(AA)became flesh and ^(AB)dwelt among us, ^(AC)and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son^[d] from the Father, full of ^(AD)grace and ^(AE)truth.
