Doctrine and Covenants D&C 45:7
"a light that shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehendeth it not."
New Testament John 1:5
"And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."

Shared words: shineth in darkness and the darkness

Divergences: the gospel's past tense 'comprehended' reads 'comprehendeth', and the gospel's independent clause becomes a relative clause attached to a self-predication. The gospel describes a light in the third person; the revelation predicates it of the first-person speaker in the same breath as 'I am Alpha and Omega'. Registered at the 2026-08-11 editorial review.
