'Light' in the Bible

As he traveled, it happened that he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.

And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side, and woke him up, saying, "Stand up quickly!" His chains fell off from his hands.

For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, 'I have set you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.'"

It happened that, as I made my journey, and came close to Damascus, about noon, suddenly there shone from the sky a great light around me.

"Those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they didn't understand the voice of him who spoke to me.

When I couldn't see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus.

at noon, O king, I saw on the way a light from the sky, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who traveled with me.

to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'

how the Christ must suffer, and how, by the resurrection of the dead, he would be first to proclaim light both to these people and to the Gentiles."
