What John actually said in the original Greek was:

"In the beginning was the Word

and the Word was with THE God

and the Word was God."

Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

The Word of God - Written in the Targum, and in other Jewish writings, מימרא דיי meimera daiya, “the word of Jehovah;” by which they always mean a person, and not a word spoken. Adam Clarke
