"In the beginning
was The Word,
and The Word
was with God,
and The Word
was God.
He (Jesus) was
in the beginning
with God.
All things came to be
through Him,
and without Him
nothing came to be. What came to be
through Him
was life,
and this life
was The Light
of the human race;
The Light shines
in the darkness,
and the darkness
has not overcome it.
A man named John
was sent from God.
He came for testimony,
to testify to The Light,
so that all might
believe through him. He was not The Light
but he came to testify
to The Light.
The True Light, which enlightens everyone,
was coming
into the world."
John 1:1-9 (NAB)
"He spoke and roused a storm wind;
it tossed the waves on high.
They rose up to the heavens, sank to the depths;
their hearts trembled at the danger.
They reeled, staggered like drunkards;
their skill was of no avail.
In their distress they cried to the LORD,
who brought them out of their peril,
hushed the storm to a murmur;
the waves of the sea were stilled.
They rejoiced that the sea grew calm,
that GOD brought them to the harbor they longed for.
Let them thank the LORD for such kindness,
such wondrous deeds for mere mortals.
Let them praise Him in the assembly of the people,
give thanks in the council of the elders"
(Psalm 107: 25-32).
