AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 8:1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. |
Subject: Why was not the man accused of adultery. |
Bible Note: Brad, Scripture says nothing about their being thwarted; it's also silent (except in the KJV) about their consciences; therefore, it's reasonable to consider either that they were "convicted" or "thwarted". I hold with the latter because, as the future murderers of Christ, as offspring of the devil (v 8:44), these men likely think themselves as sinless as Saul once did (Phil 3:5-6) and hope to blame Jesus for the adulteress' execution while also focusing subsequent Roman reprisal upon him. Because of Jesus' ingenuity, their plan to discredit him while leaving themselves blameless, failed. |
