John 1:8

Jesus
Jesus Kristus

6 There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.

7 He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe.

He himself was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

9 The true Light who gives light to every man was coming into the world.

10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.
