John 11:10

10 But yf a ma walke in ye nyght he stombleth because ther is no lyght in him.

John 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.

John 11:10 In-Context

8 His disciples sayde vnto him. Master the Iewes lately sought meanes to stone the and wilt thou goo thyther agayne?

9 Iesus answered: are ther not twelve houres in ye daye? Yf a man walke in ye daye he stombleth not because he seith the lyght of this worlde.

10 But yf a ma walke in ye nyght he stombleth because ther is no lyght in him.

11 This sayde he and after yt he sayde vnto the: oure frende Lazarus slepeth but I goo to wake him out of slepe.

12 Then sayde his disciples: Lorde yf he slepe he shall do well ynough.
