Context of John 11:8

6So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he remained in the place where he was for two more days. 7Then after this, he said to his disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.” The disciples replied, “Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just now trying to stone you to death! Are you going there again?” 9Jesus replied, “Are there not twelve hours in a day? If anyone walks around in the daytime, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. 10But if anyone walks around at night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
