Isaiah 9:6
New International Version (NIV)For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty
God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
John 1:1-31 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
3
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
John 1:9-149 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.
10 He was in the world, and
though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.
11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—
13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
14
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of
the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
