📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

In this chapter Jesus is betrayed by Judas and the disciples, and he declares that he is the light of the world, a title that foreshadows his death and resurrection. The passage also shows the crowd’s misunderstanding that he is a prophet, while Jesus clarifies his role and warns that his followers will be persecuted.
