John 11:7-8

John 11:7-8

[7] Then  after  saith he  to his disciples,  Let us go  into  Judaea  again.  [8] His disciples  say  unto him,  Master,  the Jews  of late  sought  to stone  and  goest thou  thither  again? 

What does John 11:7-8 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Jesus" decision to return to the Jerusalem area in Judea seemed foolhardy to the disciples who reminded Him that the Jews there had recently tried to stone Him ( John 10:31; John 10:39). They obviously did not yet appreciate the Father"s protection of His Son until His appointed hour or the inevitability of Jesus" death.
