Chapter 1 of John has been posted to Christian Bible Links http://www.christianbiblelinks.com.
The Book of John is one of four books that sets forth the four-fold earthly-life and death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. John does not contain everything that Jesus said and/or did. It emphasizes the Lord Jesus Christ being God's son, who is the fulfillment of the Word that God spoke regarding the Christ, which is first recorded in Genesis 3:15.
Initially there was the spoken account of God's inner thoughts. It was not at the beginning of the world - but the focus in this phrase is that at start there was continuing to exist the word of/from God - God's spoken-account containing individual words constituting what He spoke to/for mankind.
Within the cause and sphere of action of the word that God spoke there was continuing to be God's life - the word that God spoke was, consisted of, issued, emanated His life, it enabled people to receive God’s life.
