John 1:9-14

New Testament for Everyone

⁹ The true light, which gives light to every human being, was coming into the world. ¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not know him. ¹¹ He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him. ¹² But to anyone who did accept him, he gave the right to become God’s children; yes, to anyone who believed in his name. ¹³ They were not born from blood, or from fleshly desire, or from the intention of a man, but from God.

¹⁴ And the Word became flesh, and lived among us. We gazed upon his glory, glory like that of the father’s only son, full of grace and truth.
