Contextual Overview
1 A man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in the town of Bethany, where Mary and her sister Martha lived. 2 Mary was the woman who later put perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair. Mary's brother was Lazarus, the man who was now sick. 3 So Mary and Martha sent someone to tell Jesus, "Lord, the one you love is sick." 4 When Jesus heard this, he said, "This sickness will not end in death. It is for the glory of God, to bring glory to the Son of God." 5 Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 But when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was for two more days. 7 Then Jesus said to his followers, "Let's go back to Judea." 8 The followers said, "But Teacher, some people there tried to stone you to death only a short time ago. Now you want to go back there?" 9 Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the daylight, he will not stumble, because he can see by this world's light. 10 But if anyone walks at night, he stumbles because there is no light to help him see."

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

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.
