1 | Why was not the man accused of adultery. | John 8:1 | flinkywood | 219226 | ||
John, I don't think that Jesus' words had any impact on their consciences but only inflamed their hatred of him, criminals that they were. If you're saying that their defeat represented an objective conviction of sin, that they were shown to be abject sinners in the light of Christ's words, in that sense I agree with you that their defeat also represents their conviction. At least I think that's what you're saying. Colin |

2 | Why was not the man accused of adultery. | John 8:1 | stjohn | 219228 | ||
Colin, this is from the KJV: "And they which heard [it], being convicted by [their own] conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, [even] unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst." John 8:9 Note: they were, "convicted of their own conscience." I think I'd go with what the Scriptures say and not speculate on it. Even if it is just an old unreliable version like the KJV. Just kidding! :-) John |

3 | Why was not the man accused of adultery. | John 8:1 | flinkywood | 219232 | ||
John, The KJV is alone in its translation of John 8.9. The NKJV even has it: Then those who heard it, being 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. |

4 | Why was not the man accused of adultery. | John 8:1 | stjohn | 219233 | ||
Colin, you may have seen Bradk's post by now but, you may want to check the NASB (amplified) which is translated, published, and of course, endorsed by the way, by our gracious host, The Lockman Foundation. John |

5 | Why was not the man accused of adultery. | John 8:1 | flinkywood | 219236 | ||
John, here's this verse from the NASB Amplified, which I hadn't consulted: John 8:9 They listened to Him, and then they began going out, conscience-stricken, one by one, from the oldest down to the last one of them, till Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing there before Him in the center of the court. John, because only KJV and the NASB Amplified--not even the NASB itself--render the text similarly, I'll eat my words with crow if you can demonstrate that this particular translation is literal and not interpretive. |

Colin, my friend, I'll eat my crow with relish, if you can show me your interpretation 'anywhere' in 'any' Bible! :-) John |
