- 1:5 The Word (Jesus Christ) is like light. He shows us what is true. The dark means the power of God's enemy, Satan. Satan tries to hide what is true. God's light shines in the dark places and Satan cannot stop that light. Jesus said that he himself was the light of the world. See John 8:12; 9:5.
- 1:6 This was John the Baptist. He was not the man called John who wrote this book.
