John 1:8 in Context — John 1
6 Il y eut un homme envoyé de Dieu: son nom était Jean.
7 Il vint pour servir de témoin, pour rendre témoignage à la lumière, afin que tous crussent par lui.
8 Il n’était pas la lumière, mais il parut pour rendre témoignage à la lumière.
9 Cette lumière était la véritable lumière, qui, en venant dans le monde, éclaire tout homme.
10 Elle était dans le monde, et le monde a été fait par elle, et le monde ne l’a point connue.
