5 ^aAnd the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake it.

The Witness of John the Baptist

6 There was a man having been sent from God, whose name was ¹^aJohn. 7 ¹He came ²^aas a witness, to bear witness about the Light, ^bso that all might believe through him. 8 ¹^aHe was not the Light, but he came to bear witness about the Light.
9 There was ^athe true Light ¹which, coming into the world, enlightens everyone. 10 He was in the world, and ^athe world ¹was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11 He came to what was His ¹own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.
