We don't know how long it was before Jesus went
back to teaching after the last incident. Nor do we
know why He picked His next message.

It could have been the giant candelabra that hung
in the temple and burned during the Feast of Tab-
ernacles. Whatever it was, he began speaking with
"I am the light of the world: he that followeth me
shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light
of life." John 8:12
