οὐκοῦν ἕτερος ἦν οὗτος, ὃν »ὁ κόσμος« »οὐκ ἔγνω«, θεὸς καὶ λόγος, φῶς ὑπάρχων τε καὶ ὠνομασμένος. φῶς δὲ οὐκ αἰσθητὸν οὐδὲ σαρκῶν ὀφθαλμοὺς ὁμοίως ἡλίῳ φωτίζον. οὕτω γὰρ ἂν καὶ ἡ τῶν ἀλόγων ζῴων φύσις μετεῖχεν αὐτοῦ. νυνὶ δὲ διδάσκει ὁποῖον ἦν φῶς, λέγων »ἦν τὸ φῶς τὸ φωτίζον πάντα ἄνθρωπον ἐρχόμενον εἰς τὸν κόσμον«. μόνον ἄρα ἦν ἀνθρώπων τὸ λογικὸν τοῦτο φῶς.
