John 11:7 In-Context

5 Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6 But after he heard Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was for two more days.
7 Then he said to his disciples, "Let us go back to Judea."
8 "But Rabbi," they said, "a short time ago the Jews tried to kill you with stones. Are you still going back there?"
9 Jesus answered, "Aren't there 12 hours of daylight? A person who walks during the day won't trip and fall. He can see because of this world's light.
