King James Bible
"Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again."
This phrase indicates a deliberate delay—Jesus waited two days after hearing of Lazarus's illness before proposing this journey. The timing suggests Jesus acted according to divine purpose rather than human urgency. Jesus addresses his inner circle directly, preparing them for a decision that would seem dangerous. The formal introduction emphasizes his role as teacher and leader who guides his followers into challenging situations. Jesus proposes returning to the very region where Jewish leaders recently tried to stone him (John 10:31-39). The word 'again' highlights the risk, while 'let us' shows Jesus includes his disciples in this perilous mission to demonstrate God's glory.
