John 9:5-11

Sawyer⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ While I am in the world I am the light of the world. ⁶ Saying these things he spit on the ground, and made a paste of the spittle, and put the paste on his eyes, ⁷ and said to him, Go, and wash in the pool of the Siloam; which is interpreted, Sent. Then he went away and washed, and came seeing. ⁸ ^(12:2) Then the neighbors and those who had seen him before, because he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? ⁹ Some said, This is he; others said, No, but he is like him; he said, I am he. ¹⁰ Then they said to him, How then were your eyes opened? ¹¹ He answered, A man called Jesus made paste and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the Siloam and wash; then I went and washed, and obtained sight.

I am.Our Lord here claims one of the titles given by the Jews to the Divine Being. So in Bammidbar Rabba, 15, fol. 229.1, "The Israelites said to God, O Lord of the universe, thou commandest us to light lamps to thee, yet thou art the light of the world." It was also a title of the Messiah (see Isa 49:6; 60:1;) and in a remarkable passage of Yalkut Rubeni, fol. 6, it is said on Ge 1:4, "From this we learn that the holy and blessed God saw the light of the Messiah, and his works, before the world was created; and reserved it for the Messiah, and his generation, under the throne of his glory. Satan said to the holy and blessed God, For whom dost thou reserve that light which is under the throne of thy glory? God answered, For him who shall subdue thee, and overwhelm thee with confusion. Satan rejoined, Lord of the universe, shew that person to me. God said, Come, and see him. When he saw him, he was greatly agitated, and fell upon his face, saying, Truly this is the Messiah, who shall cast me and idolaters into hell."
