John 8:12
Summary for John 8:12-59: 8:12-59 a The debate about whether or not Jesus is the Messiah continues from 7:52 b. Jesus was still at the Festival of Shelters in Jerusalem. During the festival, the conflicts Jesus had endured in ch 7 c continued and intensified. 8:12 d During the Festival of Shelters, sixteen gold bowls in the inner courts of the Temple were filled with oil and lighted. Jesus stood beneath these lights in the Temple (8:20 e) and said that he was now the source of the light. Jesus’ light brings salvation not only to Israel but to the world, regardless of race or locale.
