NASB | John 8:1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 8:1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. |
Subject: Why was not the man accused of adultery. |
Bible Note: No, I don't think it's speculative or adding to scripture, especially when we later see these same men screaming for Jesus' crucifixion. They attempt to wall him in between Moses and Roman territorial law. Jesus deftly turns the tables on them: they can't stone her because they will violate Roman law; and they can't accuse Jesus of false messiahship for violating Mosaic law. Therefore, it's logical to assume the Pharisees' turning away had more to do with having been thwarted than convicted of sin. |
