John the Baptist Sent as a Witness

John 1:6-13

There came a man--having been sent from God--whose name is John,

this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;

that one was not the Light, but--that he might testify about the Light.

He was the true Light, which doth enlighten every man, coming to the world;

in the world he was, and the world through him was made, and the world did not know him:

to his own things he came, and his own people did not receive him;

but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God--to those believing in his name,

who--not of blood nor of a will of flesh, nor of a will of man but--of God were begotten.
