This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
He (ekeinos). “That one,” i.e. John. He was a light (Joh 5:35) as all believers are (Mat 5:14), but not “the light” (to phōs).
But came (all'). No verb in the Greek, to be supplied by repeating ēlthen of Joh 1:7. See similar ellipses in Joh 9:3; Joh 13:18; Joh 15:25. In Johannine fashion we have the final hina clause of Joh 1:7 repeated.
