7This man came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.
8He himself was not the Light but was to testify about the Light—
9the true Light which illumines everyone who comes into the world.
10He was in the world, the world that came into being by Him, yet the world did not know Him.
11He came to His own things, yet His own people did not receive Him.
