Commentary on John 9:5
'As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.' This repeats the claim from 8:12. Jesus' physical presence on earth is a period of illumination. His departure wouldn't end the light (believers become light—Matthew 5:14) but changes its expression. While He's bodily present, He is the Light directly. The healing of a blind man demonstrates this—the Light brings sight to those in darkness.
