Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
 Again, it is not said that in the beginning He was, in the sense of then coming into being ( ἐγένετο ),   but He existed ( ἦν ). Thus before all time the Word was. When the great truth of the incarnation is noted in verse 14, it is said not that the Word came into existence, but that He was  made  ( ἐγένετο ) flesh began so to be. This, therefore, so much the more contrasts with verses 1 and 2.
