John 1:9-17

English Standard Version

^9 (A)The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. ¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet ^(B)the world did not know him. ¹¹ He came to ^(C)his own,^[a] and ^(D)his own people^{[b] (E)}did not receive him. ¹² But to all who did receive him, ^(F)who believed in his name, ^(G)he gave the right ^(H)to become ^(I)children of God, ¹³ who ^(J)were born, ^(K)not of blood ^(L)nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

¹⁴ And ^(M)the Word ^(N)became flesh and ^(O)dwelt among us, ^(P)and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son^[c] from the Father, full of ^(Q)grace and ^(R)truth. ¹⁵ (^(S)John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ^(T)‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) ¹⁶ For from ^(U)his fullness we have all received, ^(V)grace upon grace.^{[d] 17} For ^(W)the law was given through Moses; ^(X)grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
