From BibleWiki
9: απεκριθη ο ιησους ουχι δωδεκα εισιν ωραι της ημερας εαν τις περιπατη εν τη ημερα ου προσκοπτει οτι το φως του κοσμου τουτου βλεπει
9: Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any
man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the
light of this world.
9: Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours of the day? If a man
walk in the day he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this
world:
Twelve hours. The Jews divided and the day from sunrise to sunset into twelve equal parts. A similar illustration our Saviour uses in Jn 9:4, Jn 9:5. See "Jn 9:4".
If any man walk. If any man travels. The illustration here is taken from a traveller. The conversation was respecting a journey into Judea, and Jesus, as was his custom, took the illustration from the case before him.
He stumbleth not. He is able, having light, to make his journey safely. He sees the obstacles or dangers and can avoid them.
The light of this world. The light by which the world is illuminated -- that is, the light of the sun.
