John 1:1-5, 9-10

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things were created through him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. That light shines in the darkness, and yet the darkness did not overcome it.

The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was created through him, and yet the world did not recognize him.
