Exegesis

The verse begins with the conjunction kai {Καὶ | Kaí} linking this statement to the prologue’s theme of the preexistent logos {λόγος | lógos}.

The subject ho logos {ὁ λόγος | ho lógos} precedes the predicate sarx {σὰρξ | sárx}, with the aorist middle verb egeneto {ἐγένετο | egéneto} following, creating a marked sequence “the Word became flesh” that emphasizes the dramatic incarnation.

Root and etymology

légōl–epsilon–gamma–omega

In contextJohn 1:14

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the unique Son from the Father , full of grace and truth.
