John 12:46 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I am come a light into the world; this is no more than what our Saviour hath often said, 1 Thessalonians 3:19, and 1 Thessalonians 9:5; and it was according to the prophecy of him, Isaiah 42:6. That whosoever believeth on me shall not abide in darkness; that he who receiveth and embraces me, as his Priest and Prophet, though he may be in darkness naturally, Ephesians 5:8, yet should not abide in a state of ignorance, and sin, and guilt, 1 Thessalonians 3:36, 1 Thessalonians 8:31. Men and women, before they believe in Christ are in darkness; but upon believing, they are translated out of their state of darkness into a state of marvellous light; they do not abide in darkness.

John 12:46

46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
