Then after this
This phrase indicates a sequence of events, suggesting that what follows is a deliberate action taken by Jesus. The Greek word used here is "μετὰ τοῦτο" (meta touto), which implies a purposeful transition. In the context of John 11, Jesus had just received news of Lazarus's illness but chose to remain where He was for two more days. This delay was intentional, setting the stage for a greater demonstration of His power and glory. The phrase underscores the divine timing in Jesus' ministry, reminding us that God's plans unfold according to His perfect schedule, not ours.

He said to the disciples
This highlights the intimate relationship and communication between Jesus and His disciples. The Greek word for "said" is "λέγει" (legei), which is a present tense verb, indicating a continuous or repeated action. Jesus often used these moments to teach and prepare His disciples for future ministry. The disciples were not just followers but students and friends, entrusted with understanding and spreading His message. This phrase encourages believers to listen attentively to Jesus' teachings, as they are vital for spiritual growth and understanding.

Let us go
Here, Jesus includes His disciples in the mission, using the Greek word "ἄγωμεν" (agōmen), which is a first-person plural verb. This inclusion signifies the communal aspect of Jesus' ministry and the importance of fellowship in the Christian journey. Jesus does not act alone but involves His followers in His work, teaching them through experience. This phrase serves as a reminder that believers are called to participate actively in God's work, not as passive observers but as engaged participants in His mission.

back to Judea
The mention of "Judea" is significant, as it was a region where Jesus faced considerable opposition from the Jewish leaders. The Greek term "Ἰουδαίαν" (Ioudaian) refers to the geographical and cultural context of the Jewish people. Returning to Judea was a bold move, as it was fraught with danger, yet it was necessary for the fulfillment of Jesus' mission. This phrase highlights the courage and determination of Jesus to accomplish His Father's will, regardless of the risks involved. It serves as an inspiration for believers to follow Christ's example of obedience and bravery in the face of adversity.

(7) Let us go into Judaea again.--He does not mark out the place more definitely, and the word "again" recalls the dangers from which they had escaped at the close of their last visit to Jerusalem.
