that life was the light of all men
"Light" is a metaphor that means God's revelation. AT: "he revealed to us the truth about God as a light reveals what is in the darkness" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

Just as darkness cannot put out light, evil people have never prevented the one who is like a light from revealing God's truth. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
