^4 (A)In Him was life, and the life was ^(B)the Light of mankind.

^9 [a]This was ^(A)the true Light ^[b]that, coming into the world, enlightens every person.

Jesus Is the Light of the World

¹² Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “^(A)I am the Light of the world; ^(B)the one who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”

⁵ While I am in the world, I am ^(A)the Light of the world.”

³⁶ While you have the Light, ^(A)believe in the Light, so that you may become ^(B)sons of Light.”

These things Jesus proclaimed, and He went away and ^(C)hid Himself from them.

¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that ^(A)the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light; for ^(B)their deeds were evil. ^20 (C)For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, so that his deeds will not be exposed. ²¹ But the one who ^(D)practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds will be revealed ^[a]as having been performed in God.”
