Context of John 11:7

5Jesus loved Martha and her sister, and their brother Lazarus, too. 6He heard the news that Lazarus was ill. But then he stayed in the place where he was for two more days. After that, Jesus said to his disciples, ‘We should return to Judea.’ 8The disciples said, ‘Teacher, only a short time ago, the Jews there tried to kill you with stones. You should not return there!’ 9Jesus answered, ‘You know that there are 12 hours in the day. Anyone who walks during the day will not fall down. He will not fall down because he sees this world's light.
