The Gospel of John opens where Genesis does: in the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God and was God, and all things were made by him.
KJV (John 1:1–3): “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”
