João 11:10

10 mas se andar de noite, tropeça, porque nele não há luz.

João 11:10 Meaning and Commentary

John 11:10

But if a man walk in the night
After the sun is set, and there is no light in the air and heavens to direct him:

he stumbleth;
at everything that lies in the way,

because there is no light in him;
there being none from above communicated to him. So our Lord suggests, that when the time of his death was come, he should then fall a prey into the hands of his enemies, but till then he should walk safe and secure; nor had he anything to fear from them, and therefore could go into Judea again, with intrepidity and unconcern.

João 11:10 In-Context

8 Disseram-lhe eles: Rabi, ainda agora os judeus procuravam apedrejar-te, e voltas para lá?

9 Respondeu Jesus: Não são doze as horas do dia? Se alguém andar de dia, não tropeça, porque vê a luz deste mundo;

10 mas se andar de noite, tropeça, porque nele não há luz.

11 E, tendo assim falado, acrescentou: Lázaro, o nosso amigo, dorme, mas vou despertá-lo do sono.

12 Disseram-lhe, pois, os discípulos: Senhor, se dorme, ficará bom.
