John 1:1-14

Murdock(i) 1 In the beginning, was the Word; and the Word was with God; and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 Every thing was by his hand; and without him, was not any thing whatever that existed. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of man. 5 And this light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came for testimony, to bear witness concerning the light. 8 He was not himself the light, but came to bear witness concerning the light. 9 The true light was that, which enlighteneth every man who cometh into the world. 10 He was in the world; and the world was by his hand; and the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own people; and his own people received him not. 12 But such as received him, to them gave he the prerogative to be children of God; even to them that believe on his name; 13 who are born, not of blood, nor of the pleasure of the flesh, nor of the pleasure of man, but of God. 14 And the: Word became flesh, and tabernacled with us: and we saw his glory, a glory as of the only begotten from the Father, that he was full of grace and truth.
