Exegesis
Dodeka horai eisin tēs hēmeras {δώδεκα ὧραί εἰσιν τῆς ἡμέρας | dṓ-de-ka hô-rai ei-sin tês hē-mé-ras} uses a predicate statement with a genitive of relation to specify a fixed daytime span.
The conditional protasis ean tis peripatē en tē hēmera {ἐάν τις περιπατῇ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ | e-an tis pe-ri-pa-tē en tē hē-mé-ra} presents a general case, and the apodosis ou proskoptei {οὐ προσκόπτει | ou pros-kóp-tei} states the expected result as a timeless rule.
In context — John 11:9
