Jesus spoke to the people again. He said,“ I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in darkness. They will have that light. They will have life.”

耶稣又对众人说：“我是世界的光。跟从我的，就不在黑暗里走，必要得着生命的光。”

耶稣又对众人说：“我就是世界的光。跟从我的，必不在黑暗里走，却要得着生命的光。”

耶稣又对众人说：“我就是世界的光。跟从我的，必不在黑暗里走，却要得着生命的光。”

耶稣又对众人说：“我是世界的光，凡跟从我的，必不会走在黑暗里，必要得到生命的光。”

耶稣又对众人说：“我是世界的光，跟从我的，必定不在黑暗里走，却要得着生命的光。”

耶稣又对众人说：“我就是世界的光。跟从我的人，绝不会在黑暗里行走，却要得到生命的光。”

耶穌又對眾人說：「我是世界的光。跟從我的，就不在黑暗裏走，必要得着生命的光。」

耶穌又對眾人說：「我就是世界的光。跟從我的，必不在黑暗裏走，卻要得着生命的光。」

耶穌又對眾人說：「我就是世界的光。跟從我的，必不在黑暗裏走，卻要得着生命的光。」

耶穌又對眾人說：「我是世界的光，凡跟從我的，必不會走在黑暗裡，必要得到生命的光。」

耶穌又對眾人說：“我是世界的光，跟從我的，必定不在黑暗裡走，卻要得著生命的光。”

於是耶穌又對眾人講論說：『我是世界的光，跟從我的一定不在黑暗裏走，卻要得着生命之光。』］

耶穌又對眾人說：「我就是世界的光。跟從我的人，絕不會在黑暗裡行走，卻要得到生命的光。」

耶穌復語眾曰、我乃世之光、從我者、不行於暗、必有維生之光、

耶穌語眾曰、我乃世之光、從我者不行於暗、得生之光、

耶穌復語眾曰、我乃世之光、從我者不行於暗、而得生之光、

耶穌又謂眾曰：『予乃世之光、從予者不行黑暗中、必具生命之光。』

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said,“ I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying,“ I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said,“ I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”

Jesus spoke to them again:“ I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.”

Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying,“ I am the Light of the world; the one who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying,“ I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Then Jesus spoke to them again:“ I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows Me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.”

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

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.”

Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying,“ I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

I have come into the world to be its light. So no one who believes in me will stay in darkness.

While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

Then Jesus told them,“ You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light. Do this before darkness catches up with you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going.

“ You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill can’t be hidden.

God has set me free. He has kept me from going down into the darkness of the grave. So I’ll live to enjoy the light of life.’

Life was in him, and that life was the light for all people.The light shines in the darkness. But the darkness has not overcome the light.There was a man sent from God. His name was John.He came to be a witness about that light. He was a witness so that all people might believe.John himself was not the light. He came only as a witness to the light.The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.

God did not spare angels when they sinned. Instead, he sent them to hell. He chained them up in dark prisons. He will keep them there until he judges them.

All of that will happen because our God is tender and caring. His kindness will bring the rising sun to us from heaven.It will shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death. It will guide our feet on the path of peace.”

Here is the judgment. Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light. They loved darkness because what they did was evil.

Lord, you keep the lamp of my life burning brightly. You are my God. You bring light into my darkness.

The people who are now living in darkness will see a great light. They are now living in a very dark land. But a light will shine on them.

“ People of Jerusalem, get up. Shine, because your light has come. The glory of the Lord will shine on you.Darkness covers the earth. Thick darkness spreads over the nations. But I will rise and shine on you. My glory will appear over you.Nations will come to your light. Kings will come to the brightness of your new day.

Here is what the Lord says to me.“ It is not enough for you as my servant to bring the tribes of Jacob back to their land. It is not enough for you to bring back the people of Israel I have kept alive. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles. Then you will make it possible for the whole world to be saved.”

But here is what will happen for you who have respect for me. The sun that brings life will rise. Its rays will bring healing to my people. You will go out and leap for joy like calves that have just been fed.

Does anyone among you have respect for the Lord? Does anyone obey the message of the Lord’ s servant? Let the person who walks in the dark trust in the Lord. Let the one who doesn’t have any light to guide them depend on their God.

In that way, what the prophet Isaiah had said came true. He had said,“ Land of Zebulun! Land of Naphtali! Galilee, where Gentiles live! Land along the Mediterranean Sea! Territory east of the Jordan River!The people who are now living in darkness have seen a great light. They are now living in a very dark land. But a light has shined on them.”( Isaiah 9:1, 2)

Here is how someone can find out whether my teaching comes from God or from me. That person must choose to do what God wants them to do.

“ I, the Lord, have chosen you to do what is right. I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you safe. You will put into effect my covenant with the people of Israel. And you will be a light for the Gentiles.You will open eyes that can’t see. You will set prisoners free. Those who sit in darkness will come out of their cells.

They said the Messiah would suffer. He would be the first to rise from the dead. He would bring the message of God’s light. He would bring it to his own people and to the Gentiles.”

Good things come to those who do what is right. Joy comes to those whose hearts are honest.

Jesus answered,“ I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

The nations will walk by the light of the city. The kings of the world will bring their glory into it.

It is a light to be given to the Gentiles. It will be the glory of your people Israel.”

This is what the Lord has commanded us to do. He said,“‘ I have made you a light for the Gentiles. You will bring salvation to the whole earth.’ ”( Isaiah 49:6)

These people are like springs without water. They are like mists driven by a storm. The blackest darkness is reserved for them.

Let’s recognize him as the Lord. Let’s keep trying to know him. You can be sure the sun will rise. And you can be just as sure the Lord will appear. He will come to renew us like the winter rains. He will be like the spring rains that water the earth.”

Some of the angels didn’t stay where they belonged. They didn’t keep their positions of authority. The Lord has kept those angels in darkness. They are held by chains that last forever. On judgment day, God will judge them.

But they will die, like their people of long ago. They will never again see the light of life.

They are like wild waves of the sea. Their shame rises up like foam. They are like falling stars. God has reserved a place of very black darkness for them forever.
