john 8:4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. - Free Bible Online

john 8:4 they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act.


      4, 5. woman . . . in adultery . . . Moses . . . commanded . . . should be stoned--simply put to death (De 22:22), but in aggravated cases, at least in later times, this was probably by stoning (Eze 16:40).
      but what sayest thou--hoping, whatever He might answer, to put Him in the wrong:--if He said, Stone her, that would seem a stepping out of His province; if He forbade it, that would hold Him up as a relaxer of the public morals. But these cunning hypocrites were overmatched.
