3 All things were made through him. Nothing was made without him.
4 In him there was life. That life was light for the people of the world.
5 The Light shines in the darkness. And the darkness has not overpowered the Light.
6 There was a man named John who was sent by God.
7 He came to tell people about the Light. Through him all people could hear about the Light and believe.
8 John was not the Light, but he came to tell people about the Light.
9 The true Light was coming into the world. The true Light gives light to all.
