John 1:3
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.
4 In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.
5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
