John 8:5

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

John 11:13

Context
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.
