Then Jesus said to them, I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I go to Him who sent Me.

It is necessary for Me to work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one is able to work.

A little while, and you do not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go away to the Father.

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

do not harden your hearts as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness,

While you have the Light, believe into the Light, that you may become sons of Light. These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.

I have come as a Light into the world, that everyone believing into Me should not remain in darkness.

And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not lay hold of it.

This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through Him might believe.

That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.

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

As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.

O house of Jacob, come and let us walk in the light of Jehovah.

I, Jehovah, have called You in righteousness, and will hold Your hand, and will keep You, and give You as a covenant to the people, as a Light to the nations;

to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, those who sit in darkness out of the prison house.

The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast 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, to fulfill 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 sleep, stand forth out from among the dead, and Christ will shine on you.

See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools 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 who get drunk are drunk at night.

If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

But if we walk 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 every sin.

Therefore they were not able to believe, because Isaiah said again:

He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, that they should not see with their eyes, that they should not understand with their hearts and be turned, and I should heal them.

Let their table become a snare before them; and to those at peace, a trap.

Pour out Your indignation upon them, and let Your burning anger take hold of them.

For they have persecuted the ones whom You have stricken, and they talk to the grief of those You pierced.

Let them be blotted out of the Book of Life, and not be written with the righteous.

Give glory to Jehovah your God, before He causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and, while you are looking for light, He turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it gross darkness.

But if you will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and my eye shall weep and cry and run down with tears, because Jehovah's flock is taken captive.

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

And David says: Let their table become a snare and a trap, and 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 Covenant, which is being done away in Christ.

But if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the Light is not in him.

The way of the wicked is as darkness; they do not know at what they stumble.

Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.

He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is nothing in him to cause stumbling.
