Light of the World

The Light of the World, by Holman Hunt 1851, in St Paul's Cathedral

"Light of the World" (Greek: φώς τοῦ κόσμου Phṓs tou kósmou) is a phrase used by Jesus to describe himself and his disciples in the New Testament.[1] The phrase is recorded in the Gospels of Matthew (5:14–16) and John (8:12). It is closely related to the parables of salt and light and lamp under a bushel, which also appear in Jesus' Sermon on the Mount.
