| Résumé: | This article argues that John 9.4-5 should be reanalysed as an appeal parallel to 12.35-6, so that the night
when no one can work' of 9.4 corresponds to the avoidable darkness' of 12.35. Viewed in this manner, night' represents the condemned state of the unbelieving after the departure of Jesus. Jesus urges his disciples to work the works' of God so that, at the historical onset of night', the Paraclete may mediate a continuing, covert experience of day' within them. That onset, then, marks a critical phase in the eschatological separation of the children of light' from the world'. |
