These things happened in Bethany across the Jordan River where John was baptizing.

John [the Immerser] was also immersing people in Aenon, near Salem [Note: These locations are thought to have been in northeastern Judea, near the Jordan River], because there was a lot of water there; so people were coming to be immersed.

So they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, the one who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River, about whom you testified -- see, he is baptizing, and everyone is flocking to him!"

He that believeth on me - just as said the Scripture, - River, from within him, shall flow, of living water.

Jesus went back across the Jordan River again to the place where John had been baptizing at an earlier time, and he stayed there.

So, when He heard that Lazarus was sick, He stayed where He was [i.e., on the east side of the Jordan River. See 10:40] for two [more] days.
