Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life." (John 8:12)
The Pharisees went out and took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. When Jesus realized this, he withdrew from that place. Many people followed him, and he cured them all, but he warned them not to make him known. Matthew 12:14–16
