The World English Bible (WEB): John
Book 43 John 001:001 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 001:002 The same was in the beginning with God. 001:003 All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made. 001:004 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 001:005 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome{The word translated "overcome" (katelaben) can also be translated "comprehended." It refers to getting a grip on an enemy to defeat him.} it. 001:006 There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John. 001:007 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him. 001:008 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light. 001:009 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world. 001:010 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn't recognize him. 001:011 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn't receive him. 001:012 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become

And so he was, for, as she laughed and talked, Jo had whisked
things into place and given quite a different air to the room. Laurie

sofa, he sat down with a sigh of satisfaction, saying gratefully . . .
"How kind you are! Yes, that's what it wanted. Now please take
the big chair and let me do something to amuse my company."
"No, I came to amuse you. Shall I read aloud?" and Jo looked
affectionately toward some inviting books near by.
"Thank you! I've read all those, and if you don't mind, I'd
rather talk," answered Laurie.
"Not a bit. I'll talk all day if you'll only set me going.
Beth says I never know when to stop."
