John 12:46

I am come a light into the world - Probably referring to what his forerunner had said, John 1:5 . Before the coming of this Savior, this sun of righteousness, into the world, all was darkness: at his rising the darkness is dispersed; but it only profits those whose eyes are open to receive the rays of this sun of righteousness. See on John 1:5 ; (note); John 3:19 ; (note); John 8:12 ; (note); John 9:5 ; (note).
