John Gill, on John 11:8

“The disciples say to him: Rabbi, the Jews but now sought to stone thee: and goest thou thither again?”

“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 Joh 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.”
