Jesus answered, 'Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for they see by this world's light — Jesus responds with a saying about daylight and stumbling that uses light imagery characteristic of John's theology. Those who walk during the day (the time of Jesus' earthly ministry, the time of divine revelation) will see clearly and not stumble. This is not merely practical advice about traveling safely but theological: the presence of divine light prevents stumbling in the spiritual sense.
