Berean Standard Bible
“No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is at the Father’s side, has made Him known.”
The prologue closes by returning to its opening theme: the Word who was with God. Behind this verse lies the Old Testament conviction that no one can see God and live, and Moses' own experience of being allowed to see only God's back.
