'Light' in the Bible

And in the going, he came nigh to Damascus, and suddenly there shone round about him a light from the heaven,

and lo, a messenger of the Lord stood by, and a light shone in the buildings, and having smitten Peter on the side, he raised him up, saying, 'Rise in haste,' and his chains fell from off his hands.

for so hath the Lord commanded us: I have set thee for a light of nations -- for thy being for salvation unto the end of the earth.'

And, having asked for a light, he sprang in, and trembling he fell down before Paul and Silas,

and it came to pass, in my going on and coming nigh to Damascus, about noon, suddenly out of the heaven there shone a great light round about me,

and they who are with me the light did see, and became afraid, and the voice they heard not of him who is speaking to me --

'And when I did not see from the glory of that light, being led by the hand by those who are with me, I came to Damascus,

at mid-day, I saw in the way, O king, out of heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me a light -- and those going on with me;

to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of the Adversary unto God, for their receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having been sanctified, by faith that is toward me.

that the Christ is to suffer, whether first by a rising from the dead, he is about to proclaim light to the people and to the nations.'
