John 8:8

John 8:8

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?”

again he stooped down and wrote—The design of this second stooping and writing on the ground was evidently to give her accusers an opportunity to slink away unobserved by Him, and so avoid an exposure to His eye which they could ill have stood. Accordingly it is added.
