João 8:4 Meaning and Commentary

John 8:4

They say unto him, Master
They applied to him in a handsome and respectful manner, the better to cover their ill design:

this woman was taken in adultery;
by two persons at least, who could be witnesses of it; otherwise the accusation was not legal; see ( Deuteronomy 19:15 ) ; though in the case of a wife suspected of adultery, they admitted a single witness as valid F6:

in the very act;
or "in the theft itself", for adultery is a theft; it is an unlawful use of another's property; see this word used in the same sense, in Heliodor, l. 1. sect. 11.

João 8:4 In-Context

2 Pela manhã cedo voltou ao templo, e todo o povo vinha ter com ele; e Jesus, sentando-se o ensinava.
3 Então os escribas e fariseus trouxeram-lhe uma mulher apanhada em adultério; e pondo-a no meio,
4 disseram-lhe: Mestre, esta mulher foi apanhada em flagrante adultério.
5 Ora, Moisés nos ordena na lei que as tais sejam apedrejadas. Tu, pois, que dizes?
6 Isto diziam eles, tentando-o, para terem de que o acusar. Jesus, porém, inclinando-se, começou a escrever no chão com o dedo.
