1 Mais Jésus s'en alla sur la montagne des Oliviers.

Jean 8:1 Meaning and Commentary

John 8:1

Jesus went unto the Mount of Olives.
] Which lay eastward of Jerusalem, about a mile from it; hither Christ went on the evening of the last day of the feast of tabernacles; partly to decline the danger, and avoid the snares the Jews might lay for him in the night season; having been disappointed and confounded in the daytime; and it may be for the sake of recreation and diversion, to sup with his dear friends Lazarus, Martha, and Mary, who lived at Bethany, not far from this mount; and chiefly for private prayer to God, on account of himself as man, and for his disciples, and for the spread of his Gospel, and for the enlargement of his interest; this being his common and usual method, ( Luke 21:37 ) .

Jean 8:1 In-Context

1 Mais Jésus s'en alla sur la montagne des Oliviers.

2 A la pointe du jour il retourna au temple, et tout le peuple vint à lui; et s'étant assis, il les enseignait.

3 Alors les scribes et les pharisiens lui amenèrent une femme surprise en adultère, et l'ayant mise au milieu,

4 Ils lui dirent: Maître, cette femme a été surprise en flagrant délit d'adultère.

5 Or, Moïse nous a ordonné dans la loi, de lapider de telles personnes; toi donc qu'en dis-tu?
