Who was made a light for the Gentiles?

Acts 13:47 (ESV)

47 For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, “‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”

Paul and Barnabas quote from Isaiah 49:6. Their quotation refers to the Servant of the Lord and is applied in Luke 2:32 to Jesus Christ.1 Paul and Barnabas are carriers of light.
