John 11:9 Summary

In John 11:9, Jesus is teaching us about the importance of living in the light of God's guidance. Just as we can see and navigate our physical surroundings during the daylight hours, we can see and navigate our spiritual lives when we walk in the light of God's Word (Psalm 119:105). As believers, we have a limited time to do God's work and to trust in His sovereignty, so we must make the most of the time we have (Ephesians 5:16-17). By walking in the light of God's guidance, we can avoid stumbling and stay on the path that He has set before us.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Jesus mean by 'twelve hours of daylight' in John 11:9?

Jesus is referring to the normal daylight hours in a day, emphasizing that there is a time for work and a time for rest, as seen in John 9:4 and Jeremiah 8:20. He is using this analogy to teach about the importance of doing God's work during the time He has given us.

Is Jesus saying that we will never stumble if we follow Him?

While Jesus is saying that those who walk in the light of the world will not stumble, He is also acknowledging that there will be times of darkness and uncertainty, as seen in John 11:10. However, as believers, we have the light of God's Word to guide us, as seen in Psalm 119:105.

What is the 'light of this world' that Jesus is referring to in John 11:9?

The 'light of this world' refers to the natural light of the sun, which allows us to see and navigate our physical surroundings. However, Jesus is also using this as a metaphor for spiritual light, as seen in John 8:12, where He says that He is the light of the world.

How does this verse relate to our everyday lives as Christians?

This verse reminds us that as believers, we have a limited time to do God's work and to walk in the light of His guidance, as seen in Ephesians 5:16-17. We must make the most of the time we have and trust in God's sovereignty, even in uncertain times, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6.

Reflection Questions

  1. What are some ways that I can apply the principle of walking in the light of God's guidance in my daily life?
  2. How can I discern when I am walking in the light of God's will and when I am stumbling in darkness?
  3. What are some spiritual 'stumbling blocks' that I need to be aware of in my own life, and how can I overcome them through faith and obedience?
  4. How can I trust in God's sovereignty and guidance, even when I am faced with uncertainty or difficult circumstances?

Gill's Exposition on John 11:9

Jesus answered, are there not twelve hours in the day?.... So the Jews reckoned, and so they commonly say (a), שעות הוי היום שתים עשרה, "twelve hours are a day", or a day consists of twelve hours,

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on John 11:9

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. Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day?

Matthew Poole's Commentary on John 11:9

Look as in the day there are twelve hours, in which the sun shineth, and by giving its light directs men in their courses; so as they know how to guide their feet, and do not stumble, because they have the light of the sun, which God hath ordained, to direct men that walk up and down in the world.

Trapp's Commentary on John 11:9

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. Ver. 9. Are there not twelve hours?] q.d. Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? Job 7:1. Shall I not live out my stint? The Turks shun not the company of those that have the plague; but, pointing upon their foreheads, say, It was written there at their birth when they should die. (Blount’ s Voyage into Levant.) A priest, indeed, might enter without danger into a leprous house, because he had a calling from God so to do. A man may follow God dryshod through the Red Sea. This our Saviour calls here "to walk in the day," by an excellent and elegant similitude. But he that keeps not within God’ s precincts may not look for his protection. I commend the charity, but I question the discretion, of Mr Stafford, public professor of divinity in Cambridge, who, hearing that a certain priest, called Sir Henry Conjuror (in King Henry VIII’ s days), lay sore sick of the plague, was so moved with pity to the poor priest’ s soul, that he came to him, exhorted, and so laboured him, that he would not leave him before he had converted him, and saw his conjuring books burnt before his face. Which being done, Mr Stafford went home, and immediately sickened, and shortly after most Christianly deceased. He might have, I confess, an extraordinary call to his work. But Zanchius somewhere maketh mention of a colleague of his in the ministry, that by the like means took his death, and much bewailed upon his death bed that he had not yielded to Zanchius advising him to the contrary.

Ellicott's Commentary on John 11:9

(9) Are there not twelve hours in the day?—Or more exactly, Are not the hours of the day twelve? They had expressed their fears that danger and death would be the result of going into Judæa. His answer would say that the darkness of the night which they dreaded could not come yet. The natural night would come not until its appointed hour, until the twelve hours of the day had run their course. The day of His life is marked out by limits no less sure. The night indeed cometh, but it is as yet full day, and in that day He and they must do the work which is appointed of the Father. (Comp. John 11:6; and Notes on John 2:4; John 7:30; John 8:20; John 9:4; John 12:27; John 17:1.) Incidentally these words bear on the question of St. John’s method of counting the hours of the day, and support the view which from other passages seems quite evident that he follows the ordinary Babylonian numeration. (Comp. Notes on John 1:40; John 4:6; John 4:52; John 19:14.) Because he seeth the light of this world—i.e., the natural light of the sun. While the earth is illumined by it, men follow the course of their work without danger of stumbling. In the application to their own position, the truth holds good. The day of His work is illumined by the light of heaven, and for Him and them there is safety.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on John 11:9

Verse 9. Are there not twelve hours in the day?] The Jews, as well as most other nations, divided the day, from sun-rising to sun-setting, into twelve equal parts; but these parts, or hours, were longer or shorter, according to the different seasons of the year. See Clarke on John 1:39. Our Lord alludes to the case of a traveller, who has to walk the whole day: the day points out the time of life-the night that of death. He has already used the same mode of speech, John 9:4: I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh when no man can work. Here he refers to what the apostles had just said-The Jews were but just now going to stone thee. Are there not, said he, twelve hours in the day? I have not travelled these twelve hours yet-my last hour is not yet come; and the Jews, with all their malice and hatred, shall not be able to bring it a moment sooner than God has purposed. I am immortal till my work is done; and this, that I am now going to Bethany to perform, is a part of it. When all is completed, then their hour, and that of the power of darkness, shall commence. See Lu 22:53. If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not] A traveller should use the day to walk in, and not the night. During the day he has the sun, the light of this world: he sees his way, and does not stumble: but, if he walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in it, John 11:10; i.e. there is no sun above the horizon. The words εναυτω, John 11:10, refer not to the man, but to the world, the sun, its light, not being above the horizon. Life is the time to fulfil the will of God, and to prepare for glory. Jesus is the light of the world; he that walks in his Spirit, and by his direction, cannot stumble - cannot fall into sin, nor be surprised by an unexpected death. But he who walks in the night, in the darkness of his own heart, and according to the maxims of this dark world, he stumbles-falls into sin, and at last falls into hell. Reader! do not dream of walking to heaven in the night of thy death. God has given thee the warning: receive it, and begin to live to him, and for eternity.

Cambridge Bible on John 11:9

9. Are there not twelve hours in the day] As so often, Christ gives no direct answer to the question asked, but a general principle, involving the answer to the question. Comp. John 2:6; John 2:19, John 3:5; John 3:10, John 4:13; John 4:21, John 6:32; John 6:52, John 8:7; John 8:25; John 8:54, John 10:25. The meaning seems to be, ‘Are there not twelve working-hours in which a man may labour without fear of stumbling? I have not yet reached the end of My working-day, and so can safely continue the work I came to do. The night cometh, when I can no longer work; but it has not yet come.’ Comp. John 9:4. Thus it is practically equivalent to ‘Mine hour is not yet come;’ it is still safe for Him to work: but the figure here adopted is of wider application, and contains a moral for the disciples and all Christians as well as an application to Christ. The expression throws no light on S. John’s method of reckoning time. See on John 19:14.the light of this world] The sun.

Barnes' Notes on John 11:9

Twelve hours - The Jews divided the day from sunrise to sunset into twelve equal parts. A similar illustration our Saviour uses in John 9:4-5. See the notes at that place. If any man walk - If any man travels.

Whedon's Commentary on John 11:9

9. Twelve hours—As precisely as the sun measures off the twelve hours, so does God mark out for him his exact time and mission; and clear as the world-light, the sun, over the path and the hours of
