John 9:5

5 quamdiu in mundo sum lux sum mundi

John 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.
