John 1:17 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
John 1:16      John 1:18

John 1:17

for the teaching (Torah – Gk. nomos) was given through Moses [Ex. 19–40],
grace and truth came through Jesus the Anointed One (Messiah, Christ) [God's chosen one, see Luke 23:35].
[There is no contradiction between Moses and Jesus or between the teaching in the Old Testament and "grace and truth." God conveys his grace through both of them. They are both gifts and become "gift upon gift." There is a nice connection to Ex. 34:6–7 where the phrase "abundant in mercy and truth" is used. On this occasion, God showed his mercy to Moses and the Israelites in a concrete way by renewing his covenant with a new set of stone tablets – even when the books of Moses were given, it was in mercy! John now shows how Jesus fulfills the promise given there of "mercy to thousands." Jesus fulfills Scripture, see Matt. 5:17–18. Those who love Jesus also follow the commandments, see John 14:15.]
