Light, that all men might believe through him. He was not the Light, but he was to give testimony of the Light. That was the true Light, which enlighteneth every man that Cometh into this world.
He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, He gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in His name, who are born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made Flesh [Here all kneel], and dwelt among us ; and we saw His glory, the glory, as it were, of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
R. Thanks be to God.
When a feast falls on Sunday or other day which has a proper Gospel of its own, the Gospel of the day is read instead of the Gospel of St. John.
