John 1:4
Douay-Rheims
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Theophylact of Ohrid
(in loc.) He had said, In him was life, that you might not suppose that the Word was without life. Now he shews that life is spiritual, and the light of all reasonable creatures. And the life was the light of men: i. e. not sensible, but intellectual light, illuminating the very soul.
