Juan 8:4

Listen to Juan 8:4
4 le dijeron a Jesús:—Maestro, a esta mujer se le ha sorprendido en el acto mismo de adulterio.

Juan 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.

Juan 8:4 In-Context

2 Al amanecer se presentó de nuevo en el templo. Toda la gente se le acercó, y él se sentó a enseñarles.
3 Los maestros de la ley y los fariseos llevaron entonces a una mujer sorprendida en adulterio, y poniéndola en medio del grupo
4 le dijeron a Jesús:—Maestro, a esta mujer se le ha sorprendido en el acto mismo de adulterio.
5 En la ley Moisés nos ordenó apedrear a tales mujeres. ¿Tú qué dices?
6 Con esta pregunta le estaban tendiendo una trampa, para tener de qué acusarlo. Pero Jesús se inclinó y con el dedo comenzó a escribir en el suelo.
