F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 8:1-11

the Accusers Self-condemned John 8:1-11 This passage has been the subject of much controversy, but there is no possibility of accounting for it except on the supposition that this incident really took place. It reveals in our Lord’s character such tenderness, wisdom, hatred of sin, and insight into the heart of man, that it is impossible to suppose that any evangelist could have invented the story. The sinner’s way of treating sin is to regard it as “a case” for curious speculation, and an... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - John 8:1-59

The end of chapter 7 is closely linked with this, in that after declaring "every man went to his own house," the writer said, "But Jesus went unto the Mount of Olives." Here we have the story of a return to the Temple, and of Jesus' dealing with the woman in the presence of the rulers. With matchless skill He showed that these men had no right' to judge this woman. This He did Himself in matchless grace. At verse Joh 8:12 we have a continuation of the line of thought broken off by the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - John 8:11

MORAL OFFENCES‘Go, and sin no more.’ John 8:11 Christ took the matter out of its lower level—as a social evil—or between man and man, and aimed at spiritual benefits. Let us look at the history from this point of view. I. Christ’s method with the accusers.—Remember what they were, and in what spirit they came. They were hard, proud men. They were, each one, from the eldest to the youngest, as guilty, and more guilty than the woman, whom they so severely charged; and they lay, and prosecuted... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 8:1-11

The Woman Taken In Adultery (John 7:53 to John 8:11 ). This passage is in fact omitted by almost all the most ancient manuscripts (it is only in D), and by the oldest versions (Syriac, Coptic and some of the old latin), and is not mentioned by the earliest fathers, with the exception of Papias (early 2nd century) who is said to have commented on it. In this regard it is connected with the Gospel according to the Hebrews. Many later manuscripts mark it in such a way as to show that there was... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 8:11

‘And she said, “No man, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way, and from now on sin no more”.’ She replies, ‘no man, Lord’. Here her ‘Lord’ means a respectful and grateful ‘Sir’. But it is probable that the writer intends us to see in Him the Lord of glory. Now that the Law interpreters have passed their verdict the case is closed. The crowds can only be content that He shows mercy. ‘Neither do I condemn you.’ He alone has the right to condemn her, but He is ready to... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - John 8:1-11

PERICOPE ADULTERS. John 7:53 to John 8:11 . Jesus and the Woman Accused of Sin.— The well-known story of the woman taken in adultery has no claim to be regarded as part of the original text of this gospel. It breaks the close connexion between John 7 and John 8:12 ff., and in style and vocabulary it is clearly Synoptic rather than Johannine. Of early Greek MSS the Cambridge MS (D) alone contains it, and in a text which differs considerably from that of the later Greek MSS from which it passed... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 8:11

She tells him, None had. He replies, Neither did he. He did not acquit her, for he was not to make void the law of God; nor did he condemn her: he was neither a witness in the case, nor yet a secular judge, to whom such judgments did belong; he was only to speak to her, as the Mediator and Saviour of man. Go, I discharge thee, as being coram non judice, before one who in my present capacity am no judge to hear this cause, and to give sentence in it. Sin no more; whatever becometh of thee as to... read more

DISCOURSE: 1649THE WOMAN TAKEN IN ADULTERY DISMISSEDJohn 8:10-11. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go and sin no more.IT is surprising to see in what a variety of ways the wickedness of the human heart will betray itself: sometimes in the commission of gross iniquity, and sometimes in apparent indignation... read more
