Life was in Him,
and that life was the light of men.

That light shines in the darkness,
yet the darkness did not overcome it.

He came as a witness
to testify about the light,
so that all might believe through him.

He was not the light,
but he came to testify about the light.

The true light, who gives light to everyone,
was coming into the world.

“This, then, is the judgment: The light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil.

For everyone who practices wicked things hates the light and avoids it, so that his deeds may not be exposed.

But anyone who lives by the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be shown to be accomplished by God.”

John was a burning and shining lamp, and for a time you were willing to enjoy his light.

And there was a lot of discussion about Him among the crowds. Some were saying, “He’s a good man.” Others were saying, “No, on the contrary, He’s deceiving the people.”

Then they tried to seize Him. Yet no one laid a hand on Him because His hour had not yet come.

Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him.

Then Jesus spoke to them again: “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows Me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.”

As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

Then after that, He said to the disciples, “Let’s go to Judea again.”

“Aren’t there 12 hours in a day?” Jesus answered. “If anyone walks during the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

If anyone walks during the night, he does stumble, because the light is not in him.”

I’m glad for you that I wasn’t there so that you may believe. But let’s go to him.”

Then Thomas (called “Twin”) said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s go so that we may die with Him.”

After He said this, He shouted with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

The dead man came out bound hand and foot with linen strips and with his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him and let him go.”

If we let Him continue in this way, everyone will believe in Him! Then the Romans will come and remove both our place and our nation.”

Jesus answered, “The light will be with you only a little longer. Walk while you have the light so that darkness doesn’t overtake you. The one who walks in darkness doesn’t know where he’s going.

While you have the light, believe in the light so that you may become sons of light.” Jesus said this, then went away and hid from them.

I have come as a light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me would not remain in darkness.

So He got up from supper, laid aside His robe, took a towel, and tied it around Himself.

On the contrary, I am going away so that the world may know that I love the Father. Just as the Father commanded Me, so I do.

“Get up; let’s leave this place.

“I told you I am He,” Jesus replied. “So if you’re looking for Me, let these men go.”

First they led Him to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

Pilate went outside again and said to them, “Look, I’m bringing Him outside to you to let you know I find no grounds for charging Him.”

So they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it, to see who gets it.” They did this to fulfill the Scripture that says: They divided My clothes among themselves, and they cast lots for My clothing. And this is what the soldiers did.
