John 6:48

Context
6:48 I am the bread of life. 1 

John 9:5

Context
9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 2 

1 tn That is, “the bread that produces (eternal) life.”

2 sn Jesus’ statement I am the light of the world connects the present account with 8:12. Here (seen more clearly than at 8:12) it is obvious what the author sees as the significance of Jesus’ statement. “Light” is not a metaphysical definition of the person of Jesus but a description of his effect on the world, forcing everyone in the world to ‘choose up sides’ for or against him (cf. 3:19-21).
