This was the true Light that, coming into the world, enlightens every person.

He was in the world, and the world came into being through Him, and yet the world did not know Him.

The next day he *saw Jesus coming to him, and *said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.

For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.

And this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light; for their deeds were evil.

and they were saying to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One truly is the Savior of the world.”

Therefore when the people saw the sign which He had performed, they said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.”

For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.”

I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats from this bread, he will live forever; and the bread which I will give for the life of the world also is My flesh.”

For no one does anything in secret when he himself is striving to be known publicly. If You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world.”

The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify about it, that its deeds are evil.

Jesus Is the Light of the World

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

And He was saying to them, “You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.

I have many things to say and to judge regarding you, but He who sent Me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these I say to the world.”

While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.”

And Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.”

are you saying of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

Jesus replied, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks during the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

She *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; I have come to believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, and He who comes into the world.”

So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are not accomplishing anything; look, the world has gone after Him!”

The one who loves his life loses it, and the one who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.

Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

I have come as Light into the world, so that no one who believes in Me will remain in darkness.

If anyone hears My teachings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
