 Light, that all men might believe through him. He was not the Light, but he was to give testimony of the Light. That was the true Light, which enlighteneth every man that Cometh into this world.

He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not.

R. Thanks be to God.
