People's New Testament

12:35 Yet a little while is the light with you. He refuses to answer their questions directly, but imparts to them needed truths. The light was then present with them. Let them seek the light and walk in it while they had opportunity. The opportunity might soon pass away and the darkness come.

Wesley's Notes

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

35, 36. Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, &c.-Instead of answering their question, He warns them, with mingled majesty and tenderness, against trifling with their last brief opportunity, and entreats them to let in the Light while they have it in the midst of them, that they themselves might be "light in the Lord." In this case, all the clouds which hung around His Person and Mission would speedily be dispelled, while if they continued to hate the light, bootless were all His answers to their merely speculative or captious questions. (See on [1841]Lu 13:23).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

12:34-36 The people drew false notions from the Scriptures, because they overlooked the prophecies that spoke of Christ's sufferings and death. Our Lord warned them that the light would not long continue with them, and exhorted them to walk in it, before the darkness overtook them. Those who would walk in the light must believe in it, and follow Christ's directions. But those who have not faith, cannot behold what is set forth in Jesus, lifted up on the cross, and must be strangers to its influence as made known by the Holy Spirit; they find a thousand objections to excuse their unbelief.

John 7:33 Therefore Jesus said, "For a little while longer I am with you, then I go to Him who sent Me.

John 9:4 "We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work.

John 12:46 "I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.

Galatians 6:10 So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.

Ephesians 5:8 for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light

1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth;

1 John 2:10 The one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him.
