Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
That he was sick (oti asqenei). Present active indicative retained in indirect discourse after a secondary tense (hkousen).
Two days (duo hmerav). Accusative of extent of time.
In the place where he was (en w hn topw). Incorporation of the antecedent topw into the relative clause, "in which place he was." It was long enough for Lazarus to die and seemed unlike Jesus to the sisters.
