Hebrews
1:1-4
1:1 Long ago God spoke to our ancestors in many and various ways
by the prophets,
1:2
but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he
appointed heir of all things, through whom he also created the
worlds.
1:3
He is the reflection of God's glory and the exact imprint of God's
very being, and he sustains all things by his powerful word. When
he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand
of the Majesty on high,
1:4
having become as much superior to angels as the name he has
inherited is more excellent than theirs.

John
1:1-14
1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God.
1:2
He was in the beginning with God.
1:3
All things came into being through him, and without him not one
thing came into being. What has come into being
1:4
in him was life, and the life was the light of all people.
1:5
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not
overcome it.
1:6
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
1:7
He came as a witness to testify to the light, so that all might
believe through him.
1:8
He himself was not the light, but he came to testify to the light.
1:9
The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the
world.
1:10
He was in the world, and the world came into being through him;
yet the world did not know him.
1:11
He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept
him.
1:12
But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave
power to become children of God,
1:13
who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the
will of man, but of God.
1:14
And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his
glory, the glory as of a father's only son, full of grace and
truth.
