John 8:1
Compare all
1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Now1 early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and ataught them.  
3 Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst,
4 they said to Him, “Teacher,1 this woman was caught in aadultery, in the very act.  
5 aNow Moses, in the law, commanded us2 that such should be stoned. But what do You3 say?”  
6 This they said, testing Him, that they amight have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger,1 as though He did not hear.  
7 So when they continued asking Him, He1 raised Himself up and said to them, a“He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.”  
8 And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 Then those who heard it, abeing convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.  
10 When Jesus had raised Himself up1 and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers2 of yours? Has no one condemned you?”  
11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, a“Neither do I condemn you; go and bsin no more.”  
12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, a“I am the light of the world. He who bfollows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”  

Jesus Defends His Self-Witness

13 The Pharisees therefore said to Him, a“You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not1 true.”

John 8:1-2

THE WOMAN TAKEN IN ADULTERY. (John 8:1-11)

Jesus went unto the Mount of Olives—This should have formed the last verse of the foregoing chapter. "The return of the people to the inert quiet and security of their dwellings (John 7:53), at the close of the feast, is designedly contrasted with our Lord's homeless way, so to speak, of spending the short night, who is early in the morning on the scene again. One cannot well see why what is recorded in Luke 21:37-38 may not even thus early have taken place; it might have been the Lord's ordinary custom from the beginning to leave the brilliant misery of the city every night, that so He might compose His sorrowful and interceding heart, and collect His energies for new labors of love; preferring for His resting-place Bethany, and the Mount of Olives, the scene thus consecrated by many preparatory prayers for His final humiliation and exaltation" [STIER].
