Several of my students have pointed to the link between John 8 and 9. Jesus declares that He is the light of the world in 8:12, but because of the opposition of the Jews and their intent to kill Him, He withdraws and hides Himself – He hides the light from the self-darkened. But at the beginning of chapter 9 He is healing a blind man, giving light to those who will receive it.
