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.”+

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.

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

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.+
