In him was life, and the life was the light of mankind.

And the light shines on in the darkness, but the darkness has not mastered it.

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

He himself 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.

Now this is the basis for judging: that the light has come into the world and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.

For everyone who does evil deeds hates the light and does not come to the light, so that their deeds will not be exposed.

But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, so that it may be plainly evident that his deeds have been done in God.

He was a lamp that was burning and shining, and you wanted to rejoice greatly for a short time in his light.

Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." (Now there was a lot of grass in that place.) So the men sat down, about five thousand in number.

There was a lot of grumbling about him among the crowds. Some were saying, "He is a good man," but others, "He deceives the common people."

So then they tried to seize Jesus, but no one laid a hand on him, because his time had not yet come.

On the last day of the feast, the greatest day, Jesus stood up and shouted out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, and

let the one who believes in me drink. Just as the scripture says, 'From within him will flow rivers of living water.'"

Some of them were wanting to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.

Then Jesus spoke out again, "I am the light of the world. The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

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

When Jesus heard this, he said, "This sickness will not lead to death, but to God's glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it."

Then after this, he said to his disciples, "Let us go to Judea again."

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

But if anyone walks around at night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."

and I am glad for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him."

So Thomas (called Didymus) said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go too, so that we may die with him."

He asked, "Where have you laid him?" They replied, "Lord, come and see."

When he had said this, he shouted in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"

The one who had died came out, his feet and hands tied up with strips of cloth, and a cloth wrapped around his face. Jesus said to them, "Unwrap him and let him go."

Jesus replied, "The light is with you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.

While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become sons of light." When Jesus had said these things, he went away and hid himself from them.

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

"Do not let your hearts be distressed. You believe in God; believe also in me.

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; I do not give it to you as the world does. Do not let your hearts be distressed or lacking in courage.

but I am doing just what the Father commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up, let us go from here."

Jesus replied, "I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, let these men go."

So the soldiers said to one another, "Let's not tear it, but throw dice to see who will get it." This took place to fulfill the scripture that says, "They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they threw dice." So the soldiers did these things.
