John 11:10

Chinese (Simplified) Contemporary Bible (CCB Bible) (圣经当代译本修订版)

人在夜间走路，才会跌倒，因为没有光。”

这是什么意思？

This verse from John says that someone walking in the night will stumble because there is no light to guide them. Jesus is speaking, and He uses this analogy to explain how people without spiritual guidance can easily make mistakes.

儿童解释

Imagine you're trying to find your way through a dark room at night with no flashlight. You might trip or bump into things because it's hard to see where you're going. That's what Jesus means when He talks about stumbling in the dark - without light, we can't see clearly and make mistakes.

历史背景

The Gospel of John was written by John the Apostle around 90-100 AD for Christians who were facing challenges from both Jewish and Gentile backgrounds. This verse comes from a larger context where Jesus is teaching about life and light metaphorically.
