John 1:8-12

He himself was not the light, but he came to witness to the light.

The true light was coming into the world to give light to everyone.

He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world didn't know who he was.

He came to his own people, but they didn't accept him.

But to all those who accepted him and trusted in him, he gave the right to become God's children.
