[1] Douay places the phrase ‘who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word’ at the end of the verse where it may seem to be applicable to ‘us’ rather than, as it should be, ‘they’
[2] In the beginning was the Word: and the Word was with God: and the Word was God. — This is a perverse translation: the correct translation has been substituted
[3] All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made. — Treating these as adjectival phrases, instead of as perfect passive tense conjugations, the Latin clearly gives the present tense.
[4] And the light shineth in darkness: and the darkness did not comprehend it. — In 1610, to comprehend meant to take by force, and hold under control or arrest. That meaning is now applied only to ideas, hence to understand. Thus ‘comprehend’ is not appropriate, and ‘control’ is therefore substituted.
