John 11:8

Fear

6 So on hearing that Lazarus was sick, He stayed where He was for two days,

7 and then He said to the disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”

“Rabbi,” they replied, “the Jews just tried to stone You, and You are going back there?”

9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? If anyone walks in the daytime, he will not stumble, because he sees by the light of this world.

10 But if anyone walks at night, he will stumble, because he has no light.”
