John 1:8 Douay-Rheims

He was not the light, but was to give testimony of the light.

George Leo Haydock

1774–1849 Catholic

He; that is John the Baptist, was not the true light: but the word was the true light. In the translation, it is necessary to express that the word was the true light, lest any one should think that John the Baptist was this light. (Witham)
