SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:5
Entre tanto que estuviere en el mundo, luz soy del mundo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 9:5
Verse 5. I am the light of the world.] Like the sun, it is my business to dispense light and heat every where; and to neglect no opportunity that may offer to enlighten and save the bodies and souls of men. See chap. viii. 12.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5. As long as I am in the world , etc.] Which had been now two or three and thirty years; but was not to be much longer. I am the light of the world ; (see Gill on “ John 8:12”). Though doubtless he said this with some view to the cure he was about to perform, it being agreeable to his character and work, while he was in the world.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-7 - Christ cured many who were blind by disease or accident; here he cure one born blind. Thus he showed his power to help in the most desperat cases, and the work of his grace upon the souls of sinners, which give sight to those blind by nature. This poor man could not see Christ, but Christ saw him. And if we know or apprehend anything of Christ, it is because we were first known of him. Christ says of uncommon calamities that they are not always to be looked on as special punishments of sin sometimes they are for the glory of God, and to manifest his works. Ou life is our day, in which it concerns us to do the work of the day. We must be busy, and not waste day-time; it will be time to rest when ou day is done, for it is but a day. The approach of death should quicke us to improve all our opportunities of doing and getting good. What good we have an opportunity to do, we should do quickly. And he tha will never do a good work till there is nothing to be objected against will leave many a good work for ever undone, Ec 11:4. Christ magnifie his power, in making a blind man to see, doing that which one woul think more likely to make a seeing man blind. Human reason cannot judg of the Lord's methods; he uses means and instruments that men despise Those that would be healed by Christ must be ruled by him. He came bac from the pool wondering and wondered at; he came seeing. Thi represents the benefits in attending on ordinances of Christ' appointment; souls go weak, and come away strengthened; go doubting and come away satisfied; go mourning, and come away rejoicing; go blind, and come away seeing.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
5. As long as (otan). More correctly, whensoever. Rev., when. Whether in my incarnation, or before my incarnation, or after it. Compare John i. 4, 10.The light. See on viii. 12. The article is wanting. Westcott says, "Christ is 'light to the world,' as well as 'the one Light of the world.' The character is unchangeable, but the display of the character varies with the occasion."
