In the beginning was the Word (John 1:1) (English)

In the very beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was a divine Being.
He was in the very beginning with God.
All things came into being through him,
and nothing of all that has come into being
has become, except through him.
In him was life,
and the life was the light of human beings.

The Gospel of John, 1:1–4 (Translated by Emil Bock)

And the light shines in the darkness;
and the darkness has not accepted it.

The Gospel of John, 1:5 (Translated by Emil Bock)

POEM: ENOUGH! by Andreas Hahn
Translated from the German by: Christine Howard

Enough!
The word
a bridge from
me to thee.
They, the
murderous violators,
who from
near-perfect
wickedness, Truth
and Words slay –
Enough!
I, myself
want to find
the primal beginnings
of truth-filled Words!
It’s now
enough!
