Contextual Overview
1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 And it was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. 3 The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. 4 But when Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby. 5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. 6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he abode at that time two days in the place where he was. 7 Then after this he saith to the disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. 8 The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; and goest thou thither again? 9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
[His] disciples said unto him, master,.... Addressing him very reverently, and with great concern for his safety, as well as their own:
the Jews of late, or but now,
sought to stone thee; as they had attempted to do twice in a very little time; see John 8:59;
and goest thou thither again? where there are so many enemies; and so much danger, and but little hope of doing much good; whereas here he was among his friends, and in safety, and very useful.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Of late - About four months before, John 10:31.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse John 11:8. The Jews of late sought to stone thee — It was but a few weeks before that they were going to stone him in the temple, on the day of the feast of the dedication, John 10:31.
