John 9:5 Meaning and Commentary

John 9:5

As long as I am in the world
Which had been now two or three and thirty years; but was not to be much longer.

I am the light of the world; (See Gill on John 8:12). Though doubtless he said this with some view to the cure he was about to perform, it being agreeable to his character and work, while he was in the world.

John 9:5 In-Context

3 Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned; he was born blind so that God's works might be revealed in him.

4 We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work.

5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva and spread the mud on the man's eyes,

7 saying to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means Sent). Then he went and washed and came back able to see.
