John 8:5

8:5 In the law Moses commanded us to stone to death ¹  such women. ²  What then do you say?”

John 11:13

11:13 (Now Jesus had been talking about ³  his death, but they ⁴  thought he had been talking about real sleep.) ⁵ 

---

¹ sn An allusion to Lev 20:10 and Deut 22:22-24.

² sn The accusers themselves subtly misrepresented the law. The Mosaic law stated that in the case of adultery, both the man and woman must be put to death (Lev 20:10, Deut 22:22), but they mentioned only such women.

³ tn Or “speaking about.”

⁴ tn Grk “these.”

⁵ tn Grk “the sleep of slumber”; this is a redundant expression to emphasize physical sleep as opposed to death.

sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.
