Jehovah's Witnesses and and the deity of Christ: Examining John 1:1 (G.G.)

Commentary

John opens his account of Jesus' life on earth with the beautiful statement of the divinity of Jesus. The text of the verse reads, "Template:John 1:1 (WEB) " The phrase "the Word" (a translation of the Greek word "Logos") refers to Jesus, as indicated in other verses later in the same chapter. This verse, as well as a number of others throughout John and elsewhere in the Bible, set the stage for developments in Trinitarian theology and Christology.
