• We begin again here (vs. 14) with Jesus on the earth-what the Word became, not what He was. (“John 1” by J.N. Darby)
• Grace (what greater grace? It is love itself that is revealed, and towards sinners) and truth, that are not declared, but come, in Jesus Christ. (“John 1” by J.N. Darby)
• We begin again here (vs. 14) with Jesus on the earth-what the Word became, not what He was. (“John 1” by J.N. Darby)
• It is more than light, which is pure and shows all things; it is the expression of what God is, and God in grace, and as a source of blessing. (“John 1” by J.N. Darby)
• John does not give what shows man in heaven, but God in man on earth-not what is heavenly as gone up, but what is divine here. Israel is looked on all through as rejected. The disciples own Him as the Christ, but He is not so proclaimed. (“John 1” by J.N. Darby)
• Incarnation! Thereby God and man stand for ever united in one Person, by His death the Reconciler of all creation, heavenly and earthly. (“John 1” by W. Kelly)
• He tabernacle among us full of grace and truth. It was not a visit or a theophany, as in O.T. experiences. So He here manifested God, who is love. But grace is more; it is love in the midst of evil, rising above it, going down under it, overcoming it with good. (“John 1” by W. Kelly)
• Grace and truth, and in this order, too. For grace brings in the truth and enables souls to receive truth and to bear it, themselves as sinners judged by it. He, and He only, was full of grace and truth. (“John 1” by W. Kelly)
• Truth is the revelation of all things as they really are, from God Himself and His ways and counsels down to man and every thought and feeling as well as word and work of man. (“John 1” by W. Kelly)

c
Lit. "tabernacled."
d
para, with a genitive as here, means "on the part of"; "from with" gives the sense. But this must not be understood in the sense of "with" merely. It has not this significance in the New Testament.
