Exegesis from the year 2021 in the subject Theology - Biblical Theology, grade: 100, Nations University, course: The Gospel of John, language: English, abstract: This article consists of an exegesis of a passage taken from the Gospel of John. The author chose John 8: 12-27, the verses, which evoke Jesus as the Light of the world. The paper examines the boundaries of this passage, its context, and how the passage relates to the rest of the Gospel. It describes how the passage compares or contrasts with the Synoptic Gospels and gives a legitimate application for modern times. The author concluded that although the Jews questioned his testimony, Jesus was the hidden secret as even the Father (who is true) testifies on his behalf. Therefore, anyone who does not believe in Jesus, who is the light and the life, will rather die than have life because of their unbelief.
