As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world — Jesus reasserts the claim from 8:12 within the context of this healing. As long as he is present ('as long as I am in the world'), he is the light of the world. The healing of blindness is the manifestation of this light: bringing sight to one born blind is bringing light into darkness. The statement affirms that Jesus's presence in the world is characterized by light-bringing, healing, and the revelation of truth.
