John 1:14 shows a word flesh that is lived within family life—see "glory" and "word". Align word flesh by steady, quiet faithfulness—anchor courage in promise. Grace & Mercy connects here: Highlights God’s unmerited favor and covenantal compassion, culminating in Christ (Exod 34:6; Eph 2:8–9).

John speaks here as gospel narrative writing, highlighting word flesh. Within ch. 1, a small unit frames the emphasis. It edges toward grace & mercy. Watch the terms “glory” and “word”.

Early attribution points to John the Apostle for John. John is frequently described this way: Frequently associated with a Johannine community; markedly non‑synoptic.. Scholars commonly date John AD 90–100. John seems aimed at Johannine circles.. Here the thread of grace & mercy comes into view. Johannine style and community setting feature in scholarly accounts.
