John 1:2 meaning and explanation
He was with God in the beginning.
John 1:2, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
John opens his Gospel by identifying the Word, whom he will soon name as Jesus, and verse 2 restates the key point of verse 1: this Word was with God in the beginning. The Greek word here is pros, meaning toward or in the presence of, so the verse pictures a living relationship, not mere proximity.
