Commentary on John 1:6
John the Baptist is introduced with deliberate contrast to the Logos. The verb 'egeneto' (came into being, was sent) differs from the Logos' 'en' (was)—John came into existence at a point in time; the Logos eternally exists. The phrase 'sent from God' (apestalmenos para theou) establishes John as a commissioned messenger, a prophet with divine authority but subordinate to the one he announces. His name 'Ioannes' (Hebrew Yochanan, meaning 'Yahweh is gracious') prophetically speaks to his role announcing God's grace in Christ.
