John 1:1
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
«No princípio era o Verbo, e o Verbo estava com Deus, e o Verbo era Deus» identifica Jesus (o «Verbo») como eterno, distinto do Pai e, ao mesmo tempo, plenamente Deus. É uma das declarações mais claras da divindade de Cristo.

John deliberately echoes Genesis 1:1. The “Word” (Greek logos) was already there “in the beginning,” showing that Jesus is not a created being but eternal.
The verse holds two truths together: the Word was “with God” (a distinct person) and “was God” (fully divine). A few verses later John adds that this Word “became flesh” — God himself entered the world in Jesus.
Who is the “Word” in John 1:1?
Jesus Christ. John 1:14 says “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,” identifying the eternal Word with Jesus.
