Then Jesus said, "Yet a little while am I with you, and [then] I go to Him who sent Me.

I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.

"A little [while] and you will not see Me; and again a little [while] and you will see Me, because I am going to the Father."

Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you will hear His voice,

Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of trial in the wilderness,

While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become sons of light." These things Jesus spoke, and departing, He was hidden from them.

I have come as a light into the world, so that whoever believes in Me may not abide in darkness.

And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not apprehend it.

This [man] came for a testimony, so that he might testify concerning the Light, so that all through him might believe.

That was the true Light which lightens every man coming into the world.

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He that follows Me shall by no means walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

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

And now, O house of Jacob, come, [and] let us walk in the light of the Lord.

I, the Lord God, have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will strengthen you; and I have given you for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles;

to open the eyes of the blind, to bring the bound and them that sit in darkness out of bonds and the prison house.

The night is advanced, the day is at hand. Therefore let us put off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for [its] lusts.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light--

Therefore He says: "Awake, you who are sleeping, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."

See then that you walk carefully, not as unwise, but as wise,

You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.

For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those getting drunk, are drunk at night.

If we claim that we have fellowship with Him, and we are walking in the darkness, we are lying, and are not practicing the truth.

But if we are walking in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:

"He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they should see with their eyes, lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them."

Let their table before them be for a snare, and for a recompense, and for a stumbling block.

Pour out Your wrath upon them, and let the fury of Your anger take hold of them.

because they persecuted him whom You have smitten; and they have added to the grief of my wounds.

Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and let them not be written with the righteous.

Give glory to the Lord your God, before He causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and you shall wait for light, and behold the shadow of death, and they shall be brought into darkness.

But if you will not hear it, your soul shall weep in secret because of pride, and your eyes shall pour down tears, because the Lord's flock is sorely bruised.

What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained [it], and the rest were blinded.

And David says: "Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a recompense to them.

But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is removed in Christ.

But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."

But the ways of the ungodly are like darkness; they know not how they stumble.

Again, a new commandment I am writing to you, which [thing] is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.

He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.
