John 1:7 ASV

⁵  And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.

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

⁷  The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him.

⁸  He was not the light, but 'came' that he might bear witness of the light.

⁹  There was the true light, 'even the light' which lighteth every man, coming into the world.
