John 11:7 In-Context

5 Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus,
6 but oddly, when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed on where he was for two more days.
7 After the two days, he said to his disciples, "Let's go back to Judea."
8 They said, "Rabbi, you can't do that. The Jews are out to kill you, and you're going back?"
9 Jesus replied, "Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in daylight doesn't stumble because there's plenty of light from the sun.
