أَنَا هُوَ نُورُ العَالَم. مَنْ يَتْبَعُنِي فَلَنْ يَمْشِيَ في الظَّلام، بَلْ يَكُونُ لَهُ نُورُ الحَيَاة
إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا08/من12حتى20/“قالَ الرَبُّ يَسُوع (للكتبة والفرّيسيّين): «أَنَا هُوَ نُورُ العَالَم. مَنْ يَتْبَعُنِي فَلَنْ يَمْشِيَ في الظَّلام، بَلْ يَكُونُ لَهُ نُورُ الحَيَاة». فَقَالَ لَهُ الفَرِّيسِيُّون: «أَنْتَ تَشْهَدُ لِنَفْسِكَ، فَشَهَادَتُكَ غَيْرُ صَادِقَة». أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وقَالَ لَهُم: «وإِنْ أَشْهَدْ أَنَا لِنَفْسِي فَشَهَادَتِي صَادِقَة، لأَنِّي أَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَتَيْتُ وإِلى أَيْنَ أَذْهَب. أَمَّا أَنْتُم فَلا تَعْلَمُونَ مِنْ أَيْنَ آتِي، ولا إِلى أَيْنَ أَذْهَب. أَنْتُم كَبَشَرٍ تَدِينُون، وأَنَا لا أَدِينُ أَحَدًا. وإِنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا أَدينُ فَدَيْنُونَتِي حَقٌّ هِيَ، لأَنِّي لَسْتُ وَحْدِي، بَلْ أَنَا والآبُ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي. لَقَدْ كُتِبَ فِي تَوْراتِكُم أَنَّ شَهَادَةَ ٱثْنَينِ هِيَ صَادِقَة. فَأَنَا الشَّاهِدُ لِنَفْسِي، ويَشْهَدُ لِيَ الآبُ الَّذي أَرْسَلَنِي». فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَيْنَ أَبُوك؟». أَجَابَ يَسُوع: «لَسْتُم تَعْرِفُونِي أَنَا، ولا أَبِي، ولَو عَرَفْتُمُونِي لَعَرَفْتُم أَبِي أَيْضًا». قَالَ يَسُوعُ هذَا الكَلام، وهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي الهَيْكَل، عِنْدَ خِزَانَةِ المَال، ومَا قَبَضَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَد، لأَنَّ سَاعَتَهُ مَا كَانَتْ بَعْدُ قَدْ حَانَتْ.”

I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 08/12-20: “‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.’Then the Pharisees said to him, ‘You are testifying on your own behalf; your testimony is not valid.’Jesus answered, ‘Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid because I know where I have come from and where I am going, but you do not know where I come from or where I am going. You judge by human standards; I judge no one. Yet even if I do judge, my judgement is valid; for it is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father who sent me. In your law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is valid. I testify on my own behalf, and the Father who sent me testifies on my behalf.’Then they said to him, ‘Where is your Father?’ Jesus answered, ‘You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.’He spoke these words while he was teaching in the treasury of the temple, but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

يا إخوَتِي، بِالإِيْمانِ أُوحِيَ إِلى نُوحٍ بِأُمُورٍ لَمْ تَكُنْ بَعْدُ مَرْئِيَّة، فَٱتَّقَى الله، وبَنَى لِخَلاصِ بَيْتِهِ سَفِينَة
الرسالة إلى العبرانيّين11/من07حتى10/“يا إخوَتِي، بِالإِيْمانِ أُوحِيَ إِلى نُوحٍ بِأُمُورٍ لَمْ تَكُنْ بَعْدُ مَرْئِيَّة، فَٱتَّقَى الله، وبَنَى لِخَلاصِ بَيْتِهِ سَفِينَة، دَانَ بِهَا العَالَم، وبالإِيْمَانِ صَارَ وَارِثًا لِلبِرّ. بِالإِيْمَانِ أَطَاعَ إِبْرَاهِيم، لَمَّا دَعَاهُ الله، لِيَخْرُجَ إِلى المَكَانِ الَّذي كانَ مُزْمِعًا أَنْ يَرِثَهُ. فَخَرَجَ وهُوَ لا يَدرِي إِلى أَينَ يَذْهَب. بِالإِيْمَانِ نَزَلَ في أَرْضِ المِيعَادِ كَمَا في أَرْضٍ غَرِيبَة، وأَقَامَ في خِيَامٍ مَعَ إِسْحقَ ويَعقُوبَ الوارِثَينِ معَهُ لِلوَعْدِ عَيْنِهِ، لأَنَّهُ كانَ يَنْتَظِرُ المَدِينَةَ ذاتَ الأَسَاسَاتِ الثَّابِتَة، الَّتي صَانِعُهَا ومُبْدِعُهَا هُوَ الله.”

By faith Noah, warned by God about events as yet unseen, respected the warning and built an ark to save his household
Letter to the Hebrews 11/07-10:”By faith Noah, warned by God about events as yet unseen, respected the warning and built an ark to save his household; by this he condemned the world and became an heir to the righteousness that is in accordance with faith.By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to set out for a place that he was to receive as an inheritance; and he set out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he stayed for a time in the land he had been promised, as in a foreign land, living in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he looked forward to the city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
