Do not fill this in! ==Etymology== The noun ''[[incarnation]]'' derives from the ecclesiastical [[Latin]] verb ''[[wikt:incarno#Latin|incarno]]'', itself derived from the prefix ''in-'' and ''[[wikt:caro#Latin|caro]]'', "flesh", meaning "to make into flesh" or, in the [[Passive voice|passive]], "to be made flesh". The verb ''incarno'' does not occur in the Latin Bible but the term is drawn from the [[Gospel of John]] 1:14 {{bibleref2|John|1:14|VULGATE|"''et Verbum caro factum est''"}} ([[Vulgate]]), [[King James Version]]: {{bibleref2|John|1:14|KJV|"and the Word was made flesh"}}.
