Context of John 11:8

6Yet, when Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was for two more days. 7Then, after the two days, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.” The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, not long ago the Jews wanted to stone you to death. Do you really want to go back there?” 9Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? Those who walk during the day don’t stumble, because they see the light of this world. 10However, those who walk at night stumble because they have no light in themselves.”
