John 1:6

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
