John 1:1-10 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word.

2. He was with God in the beginning.

3. All things were made through Him, and nothing that was made was made without Him.

4. Life was in Him, and Life was the light of men.

5. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

6. There was a man sent by God, whose name was John.

7. He arrived as a witness to offer testimony about the Light, so that all would believe through him.

8. He was not the Light, but he was to offer testimony about the Light.

9. The true Light, which illuminates every man, was coming into this world.

10. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not recognize him.
