When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to get well?"

As long as I'm in the world, I'm the light of the world."

So the Jewish leaders surrounded him and quizzed him, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you're the Messiah, tell us so plainly."

As long as you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light." After Jesus had said this, he went away and hid from them.

They kept coming up to him and saying, "Long live the king of the Jews!" Then they began to slap him on the face.
