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.”

²⁴ Therefore I said to you that you ^(A)will die in your sins; for unless you believe that ^[a](B)I am He, ^(C)you will die in your sins.”

²⁸ So Jesus said, “When you ^(A)lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that ^[a](B)I am He, and ^(C)I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me.

³⁴ Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(A)everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. ^35 (B)The slave does not remain in the house forever; ^(C)the son does remain forever. ³⁶ So if the Son ^(D)makes you free, you will be free indeed.

⁵⁸ Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham ^[a]was born, ^(A)I am.”
