João 9:5

5 Enquanto estou no mundo, sou a luz do mundo.

João 9:5 Meaning and Commentary

John 9:5

As long as I am in the world
Which had been now two or three and thirty years; but was not to be much longer.

I am the light of the world; (See Gill on John 8:12). Though doubtless he said this with some view to the cure he was about to perform, it being agreeable to his character and work, while he was in the world.

João 9:5 In-Context

3 Respondeu Jesus: Nem ele pecou nem seus pais; mas foi para que nele se manifestem as obras de Deus.
4 Importa que façamos as obras daquele que me enviou, enquanto é dia; vem a noite, quando ninguém pode trabalhar.
5 Enquanto estou no mundo, sou a luz do mundo.
6 Dito isto, cuspiu no chão e com a saliva fez lodo, e untou com lodo os olhos do cego,
7 e disse-lhe: Vai, lava-te no tanque de Siloé (que significa Enviado). E ele foi, lavou-se, e voltou vendo.
