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

The Witness John

⁶ There ^[b]came a man sent from God, whose name was ^(D)John. ^7 [c]He came ^[d](E)as a witness, to testify about the Light, ^(F)so that all might believe through him. ^8 [e](G)He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

⁹ There was ^(H)the true Light ^[f]which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.

¹⁹ This is the judgment, that ^(A)the Light has come into the world, and men 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 for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

Jesus Is the Light of the World

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

³⁵ So Jesus said to them, “^(A)For a little while longer ^(B)the Light is among you. ^(C)Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who ^(D)walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.

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

These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and ^[a](C)hid Himself from them.

^46 (A)I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.

^23 [a](A)that ^[b]the Christ was ^[c]to suffer, and ^[d]that ^(B)by reason of His resurrection from the dead He would be the first to proclaim ^(C)light both to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles.”

God Is Light

^5 (A)This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that ^(B)God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

⁷ but if we ^(A)walk in the Light as ^(B)He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and ^(C)the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
