Exegesis
This subject is linked with the negated perfect oiden {οἶδεν | oi-den} ‘does not know’, which carries present force, and the interrogative adverb pou {ποῦ | poû} marking the indirect question ‘where he is going’. The progression from specific second person plural address to a generic third person singular participle broadens the warning from Jesus’ immediate hearers to anyone who chooses to live apart from the light.
In context — John 12:35
Then Jesus said to them, “Yet a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light , so that darkness will not overtake you. And the one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.”
