Exegesis
The dative autō {αὐτῷ | au-tō} ‘to him’ marks Jesus as the recipient of the disciples’ speech, while hoi mathētai {οἱ μαθηταί | hoi ma-thē-tai} ‘the disciples’ is placed after the verb, delaying the subject for dramatic effect.
In context — John 11:8
The disciples addressed Him , “Rabbi , the Jews were seeking to stone You; are You going there once more?”
