Im Anfang war das Wort,
und das Wort war bei Gott,
und Gott war das Wort.

Und das Wort ward Fleisch
und wohnete unter uns,
und wir sahen seine Herrlichkeit,
eine Herrlichkeit als des eingeborenen Sohnes vom Vater,
voller Gnade und Wahrheit.

In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.

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.
