⁹ He was the true Light, which doth enlighten every man, coming to the world;

⁸ again, a new command I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness doth pass away, and the true light doth now shine;

⁶ And He saith, `It hath been a light thing That thou art to Me for a servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And the preserved of Israel to bring back, And I have given thee for a light of nations, To be My salvation unto the end of the earth.'

⁴⁶ I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me -- in the darkness may not remain;

⁴ In him was life, and the life was the light of men,

⁴ and ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day may catch you as a thief;

⁵ all ye are sons of light, and sons of day; we are not of night, nor of darkness,

⁶ so, then, we may not sleep as also the others, but watch and be sober,

⁷ for those sleeping, by night do sleep, and those making themselves drunk, by night are drunken,

⁷ this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;

³² Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of the heaven; but my Father doth give you the true bread out of the heaven;

⁸ if we may say -- `we have not sin,' ourselves we lead astray, and the truth is not in us;

¹ `I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman;

²⁰ To the law and to the testimony! If not, let them say after this manner, `That there is no dawn to it.'

¹² and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said -- `He is good;' and others said, `No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;'

²³ but if thine eye may be evil, all thy body shall be dark; if, therefore, the light that `is' in thee is darkness -- the darkness, how great!
