From the beginning was the Word. This Word was from God, and God was the Word. The Word was always with God. All things through him were made, and without him nothing was made. In him is life, and that life is the light of human beings. And the light shines in the darkness. But the darkness has never mastered it.
A man came along named John, who had been sent by God. John's task was to tell people about the person who is the light, so that everyone would have a chance to believe on account of this light. John himself was not this great light; but came in order to tell people about it.
That light is the true light – which sheds light on all – that came into our world. He was here in the world that he had made, and nobody recognized him. He visited his own people, but they did not welcome him. But all who do receive him are granted the right to become children of God. In other words, that right goes to those who are born directly from God, not by ordinary means or by the dictatorship of the body or the decision of humans.
The Word became flesh and blood, dwelling among us. We saw the glory of the precious first son of the Father, and that he was full of grace and truth.
During his mission, John proclaimed, "This man is the one of whom I said: He is behind me but he is ahead of me – because he was before me."
We have all received from his abundance – grace upon grace. The law was given through Moses, but grace and truth come through Jesus Christ.
No human has ever seen God. But the special firstborn Son, who is intimate with the Father, has made him known.
