“In”
The NIV leaves this word out. The man walking at night stumbles because he has no light in him - no naturally occurring light. He needs daylight or he needs a source of light. Jesus sets up a contrast here. He can walk in the day or he can walk in the dark, either way he won’t stumble because he always has light. One of the first things I have to do is confess that my light is not light. Only when I admit this - which only comes via revelation - do I have room for Jesus light. I can have light in me if I confess Jesus. Then I can walk without stumbling all the time. This will never be something he gives me outside himself; this is not the phial of Galadriel. He is the light personally.
