10. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him; but the world did not know Him.
11. He came to His own, but His own did not receive Him.
12. But whoever did receive Him, those trusting in His name, to these He gave the right to become children of God.
13. They were born not of a bloodline, nor of human desire, nor of man’s will, but of God.
14. And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. We looked upon His glory, the glory of the one and only from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15. John testifies about Him. He cried out, saying, “This is He of whom I said, ‘The One who comes after me is above me, because He existed before me.’”
16. Out of His fullness, we have all received grace on top of grace.
17. Torah was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Yeshua the Messiah.
18. No one has ever seen God; but the one and only God, in the Father’s embrace, has made Him known.
19. This is John’s testimony, when the Judean leaders sent kohanim and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20. He openly admitted and did not deny; he admitted, “I am not the Messiah.”
21. “What then? Are you Elijah?” they asked him. “I am not,” said John. “Are you the Prophet?” “No,” he answered.
22. So they said to him, “Who are you? Give us an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
