In context
10He was in the world, and though the world came to be through him, the world did not know him. 11He came to what was his own, and his own people did not welcome him. 12But to all who did receive him, to those who believe in his name, he gave the right to become children of God — 13children born not of blood, nor of the desire of the flesh, nor of a man’s will, but of God. 14And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We looked on his glory, the glory of an only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
