1.  In the Midst of Context: 

"I am the Light of the World.  Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. 

John 8:12

(VS 1 – 4) As He went along, He saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

3 "Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of Him who sent Me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

~Aldous Huxley, author and screenwriter in the late 1800's

6 After saying this, He spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes. 7 "Go," He told him, "wash in the Pool of Siloam" (this word means "Sent"). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.

39 Then Jesus told him, "I entered this world to render judgment—to give sight to the blind and to show those who think they see that they are blind."

41 "If you were blind, you wouldn't be guilty," Jesus replied. "But you remain guilty because you claim you can see.
