Contextual Overview
1 Now a certaine man was sicke, named Lazarus of Bethanie, the towne of Mary, and her sister Martha. 2 (It was that Mary which anoynted the Lord with oyntment, and wiped his feete with her haire, whose brother Lazarus was sicke.) 3 Therefore his sister sent vnto him, saying, Lord, behold, hee whom thou louest, is sicke. 4 When Iesus heard that, hee said, This sicknesse is not vnto death, but for the glory of God, that the Sonne of God might be glorified thereby. 5 Now Iesus loued Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. 6 When he had heard therefore that he was sicke, he abode two dayes still in the same place where he was. 7 Then after that, saith hee to his disciples, Let vs go into Iudea againe. 8 His disciples say vnto him, Master, the Iewes of late sought to stone thee, and goest thou thither againe? 9 Iesus answered, Are there not twelue houres in the day? If any man walke in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 10 But if a man walke in the night, hee stumbleth, because there is no light 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.
