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: John, that's a great point I hadn't considered. Good call. Yet I do think that the two instances are distinct insofar as conspiracy to commit murder is distinct from a crime of passion. In the case of the Adulteress the Pharisees hoped to trick Jesus into his self-undoing either in the eyes of the crowd or at the hands of the Romans. In John 8:58, by contrast, they totally lost their marbles because not only had Jesus just called them children of the devil, he'd also declared himself equal to God. |
