7he came as a witness — to bear witness to the light so that through him everyone might believe.
8He was not the light, but he came to bear witness to the light.
9That was the true light which enlightens everyone coming into the world.
10He was in the world; and through him the world came into being — yet the world did not know him.
11He came to his own — yet his own did not receive him.
