Verses 1-11, along with John 7:53, form a pericope which is missing from some ancient Greek manuscripts. In verse 12, Jesus describes himself as "the light of the world" and verse 32 contains the well-known teaching "ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free". In verses 56–58, Jesus claims to have pre-existed or (according to non-Trinitarian interpretations) been foreordained,[citation needed] before Abraham. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am".[1]
