John 1:9 in Context — John 1

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.

11 Elle est venue chez les siens, et les siens ne l’ont point reçue.
