Jesus answered,
Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walks in the day, he stumbles not, because he sees the light of this world.
All Commentaries on John 11:9 Go To John 11
John Chrysostom
AD 407
He either says this, that he who is conscious to himself of no evil, shall suffer nothing dreadful; only he that does evil shall suffer, so that we need not fear, because we have done nothing worthy of death; or else that, he who 'sees the light of this world' is in safety; and if he that sees the light of this world is in safety, much more he that is with Me, if he separate not himself from Me. Having encouraged them by these words, He adds, that the cause of their going there was pressing, and shows them that they were about to go not unto Jerusalem, but unto Bethany.
