Jesus, the Light of the World

I Am the Light of the World

¹²lAgain Jesus spoke to them, saying, m“I am the light of the world. Whoever nfollows me will not owalk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” ¹³So the Pharisees said to him, p“You are bearing witness about yourself; your testimony is not true.” ¹⁴Jesus answered, “Even if I do bear witness about myself, qmy testimony is true, for I know rwhere I came from and swhere I am going, but tyou do not know where I come from or where I am going. ¹⁵uYou judge according to the flesh; vI judge no one. ¹⁶Yet even if I do judge, wmy judgment is true, for xit is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father1 who sent me. ¹⁷yIn your Law it is written that the testimony of two people is true. ¹⁸I am the one who bears witness about myself, and zthe Father who sent me bears witness about me.” ¹⁹They said to him therefore, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, a“You know neither me nor my Father. bIf you knew me, you would know my Father also.” ²⁰These words he spoke in cthe treasury, as he taught in the temple; but dno one arrested him, because ehis hour had not yet come.
