John 12:36

Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!

The way of the wicked is like darkness. They don’t know what they stumble over.

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

Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Jesus.”

If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don’t tell the truth.

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 already shines.

There will be no night, and they need no lamp light or sun light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever.

a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”

Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple, and every night he would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet.

The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.

Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was hidden, and went out of the temple, having gone through the middle of them, and so passed by.

The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”

The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.

But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.

Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.

But since we belong to the day, let’s be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
