^4 (A)In Him was life, and ^(B)the life was the light of men. ⁵ And ^(C)the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not ^[a]comprehend it.

John’s Witness: The True Light

⁶ There was a ^(D)man sent from God, whose name was John. ⁷ This man came for a ^(E)witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might ^(F)believe. ⁸ He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that ^(G)Light. ^9 (H)That^[b] was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, ^(A)that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

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

⁵ As long as I am in the world, ^(A)I am the light of the world.”

⁹ Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? ^(A)If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the ^(B)light of this world. ¹⁰ But ^(C)if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”

³⁵ Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer ^(A)the light is with you. ^(B)Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; ^(C)he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.
