εν αρχη ην ο λογος

Verses of the day: John 1:1-5

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made, without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it."

Facts from these verses:
1. Word = God
2. Word = with God
3. The Word has been around since the beginning of the world. (compare the Greek from John 1:1 to the Greek that the 70 scholars chose to use when translating the LXX:
^1:1 ἐν ἀρχη̨̃ ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γη̃ν
now with John 1:1
ἐν ἀρχη̨̃ ἠ̃ν ὁ λόγος καὶ ὁ λόγος ἠ̃ν πρòς τòν θεόν...
It seems to me they are talking about the same beginning, they use the same phrase to kick off the books.
4. Word = He
5. Word = creator (through him all things were made. The second restatement seems to drive home the point in kind of a literary way, "without him nothing was made, that has been made."
6. Life is in the Word
7. the aforementioned life in the Word = light of men (ἀνθρώπων- mankind, humankind, the realm of people)
8. The light shines in the darkness.
9. by association of previous facts: the the life of the Word shines in the darkness, the life of God which = the Word shines in the darkness, The creator of all that has been made shines in the darkness.
10.darkness doesnot understand light, therefore doesn't understand the life of the Word

I'm sure there is much more.
