¹⁴“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;¹⁵nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.¹⁶“Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

⁴In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.⁵The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

The Witness John

⁶There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.⁷He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.⁸He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

⁹There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.¹⁰He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.¹¹He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.¹²But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,
