Barnes New Testament Notes

By Albert Barnes

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN - Chapter 12 - Verse 46

Verse 46. A light unto the world. Joh 13:12; 1:9; 3:19.

Walk in darkness. In gross and dangerous errors. Darkness is put for error as well as for sin Joh 3:19; 1 Jo 1:5. It is also used to denote the state when the comforts of religion are withdrawn from the soul Isa 8:22; Joe 2:2; Is 59:9; Joh 8:12.

{w} "I am come a light" Joh 1:5; 3:19
