'Light' in the Bible

And while he was journeying, he came near Damascus; and suddenly he saw a light from heaven shining round him;

And a great light was seen shining in the room, and an angel of the Lord came to Peter and, touching him on his side so that he came out of his sleep, said, Get up quickly. And his chains came off his hands.

For so the Lord has given us orders, saying, I have given you for a light to the Gentiles so that you may be for salvation to the ends of the earth.

And it came about that while I was on my journey, coming near to Damascus, about the middle of the day, suddenly I saw a great light from heaven shining round me.

And those who were with me saw the light, but the voice of him who was talking to me came not to their ears.

And because I was unable to see because of the glory of that light, those who were with me took me by the hand, and so I came to Damascus.

In the middle of the day, on the road I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining round me and those who were journeying with me.

To make their eyes open, turning them from the dark to the light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may have forgiveness of sins and a heritage among those who are made holy by faith in me.

That the Christ would go through pain, and being the first to come back from the dead, would give light to the people and to the Gentiles.
