John 1:8-10

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁸ He was not the Light himself, but came that he might bear witness regarding the Light.

⁹ There it was—the true Light [was then] coming into the world [the genuine, perfect, steadfast Light] that illumines every person.^(A)

¹⁰ He came into the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him [did not know Him].
