2 The people that were walking in the darkness have seen a great light.+ As for those dwelling in the land of deep shadow,+ light itself has shone upon them.+

6 And he proceeded to say: “It has been more than a trivial matter for you to become my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back even the safeguarded ones of Israel;+ I also have given you for a light of the nations,+ that my salvation may come to be* to the extremity* of the earth.”+

16 the people sitting in darkness+ saw a great light,+ and as for those sitting in a region of deathly shadow, light+ rose+ upon them.”

5 And the light is shining in the darkness,+ but the darkness has not overpowered it.

35 Jesus therefore said to them: “The light will be among YOU a little while longer. Walk while YOU have the light, so that darkness+ does not overpower YOU; and he that walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.+
