John 1:3-5

Lexham English Bible

Footnotes

1. John 1:3 Or “came into being. What …,” beginning a new sentence connected with the following verse. A major punctuation problem is involved, since the earliest manuscripts have no punctuation, but some important later ones place the punctuation before this phrase, effectively connecting it to v. 4: “What has come into being was life in him”
2. John 1:4 Or “humankind”
3. John 1:5 Or “comprehend” (if primarily referring to people in the world)
