Lets start with John 1:1-14:
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:2 He was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things came into being through Him, and without Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being.
John 1:4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
John 1:5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake it.
John 1:6 There was a man sent from God; his name was John.
John 1:7 This one came as a witness, to bear witness concerning the Light, so that all might believe through him.
John 1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
John 1:9 He was the true Light; He enlightens every man coming into the world.
John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world came into being through Him, and the world did not know Him.
John 1:11 He came to His own, and His own received Him not.
John 1:12 But as many as received Him, He gave to them authority to become the children of God, to those who believe on His name,
John 1:13 who were born, not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but were born of God.
John 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and of truth.

The Uncreated Word of God (Jesus) was God and still is.
