16 The people sitting in darkness saw a great light, and as for those sitting in a region of deathly shadow, light+ rose on them.”+ 17 From that time on, Jesus began preaching and saying: “Repent, for the Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.”+

30 because my eyes have seen your means of salvation*+

32 a light+ for removing the veil from the nations+ and a glory of your people Israel.”

19 Now this is the basis for judgment: that the light has come into the world,+ but men* have loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were wicked.+

5 As long as I am in the world, I am the world’s light.”+

39 Jesus then said: “For this judgment I came into this world, that those not seeing might see+ and those seeing might become blind.”+

46 I have come as a light into the world,+ so that everyone putting faith in me may not remain in the darkness.+

47 For Jehovah has commanded us in these words: ‘I have appointed you as a light of nations, for you to be a salvation to the ends of the earth.’”+

8 Again, I am writing you a new commandment, which is true in his case and in yours, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.+
