John 8: 6 Commentary

TTHIS IS WAS HE WROTE;Deuteronomy 22:
23If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;

24Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.

Yes, I also read the commentary by Lightfoot. It seems there is indeed some relevance of John 8:6 to Numbers 5 ad in that Lightfoot seems to have right foot on the passage. For our Lord Jesus had come to fulfill the law.

I found that Lightfoot had an interesting perspective on that passage and related it to Numbers 5

The New RSV has a footnote on the passage:” Other ancient authorities add, the sins of each of them”

Jesus was writing on the ground, but the accusers kept on asking him if the woman be stoned according to the law of Moses. So Jesus straighened up and challenged the accusers with question, “He that is without sin cast first stone on the woman.” Jesus bent and again started writing. It is by reading the writing that the accusers all left, not all at a time, but one by one, begining from the elders.So what Jesus wrote could be their sins.

In the Bible we have the example of writing on the wall (Danile 5;5,6, 24-29)Jermiah 17:1 speaks about writing the sins of Judah with an iron pen, engraved with a diamond point on their hearts and altars. Rev. 20 has the book opened to judge the revived dead.

Jesus wrote on the ground, on the dust of the earth so to say, that can be easily rubbed out. He came not to judge, but to save. Although Jesus was sinless and to cast first stone on the woman, He didn’t condemned her, and the accusers could have found grace like that woman.
