Isaiah 60:19-22

English Standard Version

¹⁹^(A)The sun shall be no more
    your light by day,
nor for brightness shall the moon
    give you light;^[a]
but the Lord will be your everlasting light,
    and your God will be your glory.^[b]
²⁰Your sun shall no more go down,
    nor your moon withdraw itself;
for the Lord will be your everlasting light,
    and ^(B)your days of mourning shall be ended.
²¹^(C)Your people shall all be righteous;
    ^(D)they shall possess the land forever,
^(E)the branch of my planting, the work of my hands,
    that I might be glorified.^[c]
²²^(F)The least one shall become a clan,
    and the smallest one a mighty nation;
^(G)I am the Lord;
    in its time I will hasten it.

I Am the Light of the World

¹²^(A)Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ^(B)“I am the light of the world. Whoever ^(C)follows me will not ^(D)walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” ¹³So the Pharisees said to him, ^(E)“You are bearing witness about yourself; your testimony is not true.” ¹⁴Jesus answered, “Even if I do bear witness about myself, ^(F)my testimony is true, for I know ^(G)where I came from and ^(H)where I am going, but ^(I)you do not know where I come from or where I am going. ¹⁵^(J)You judge according to the flesh; ^(K)I judge no one. ¹⁶Yet even if I do judge, ^(L)my judgment is true, for ^(M)it is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father^[a] who sent me. ¹⁷^(N)In your Law it is written that the testimony of two people is true. ¹⁸I am the one who bears witness about myself, and ^(O)the Father who sent me bears witness about me.” ¹⁹They said to him therefore, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, ^(P)“You know neither me nor my Father. ^(Q)If you knew me, you would know my Father also.” ²⁰These words he spoke in ^(R)the treasury, as he taught in the temple; but ^(S)no one arrested him, because ^(T)his hour had not yet come.
