Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

Wesley's Notes

11:7 Let us go into Judea - From the country east of Jordan, whither he had retired some time before, when the Jews sought to stone him, John 10:39,40.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

7-10. Let us go into Judea again-He was now in Perea, "beyond Jordan."

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

11:7-10 Christ never brings his people into any danger but he goes with them in it. We are apt to think ourselves zealous for the Lord, when really we are only zealous for our wealth, credit, ease, and safety; we have therefore need to try our principles. But our day shall be lengthened out, till our work is done, and our testimony finished. A man has comfort and satisfaction while in the way of his duty, as set forth by the word of God, and determined by the providence of God. Christ, wherever he went, walked in the day; and so shall we, if we follow his steps. If a man walks in the way of his heart, and according to the course of this world, if he consults his own carnal reasonings more than the will and glory of God, he falls into temptations and snares. He stumbles, because there is no light in him; for light in us is to our moral actions, that which light about us to our natural actions.
