John 1:7-11

⁷He came for witness, to give witness about the light, so that all men might have faith through him.

⁸He himself was not the light: he was sent to give witness about the light.

⁹The true light, which gives light to every man, was then coming into the world.

¹⁰He was in the world, the world which came into being through him, but the world had no knowledge of him.

¹¹He came to the things which were his and his people did not take him to their hearts.
