• (v.1-11) No evangelist has suffered as much in this way, not even Mark, whose close disappears from two of the most ancient manuscripts. But as we saw that the angel’s visit to trouble the waters of Bethesda was unwelcome to not a few copyists of John 5, so here again incredulity indisposed some to reproduce the story of the adulteress. This is plain from some copies (as LA), which leave a blank—a fact wholly inexplicable, if the scribe had not been aware of a paragraph which he knew to exist, but for reasons of his own thought fit to omit. Others, again, transposed it to another place, as the cursives 1, 19, 20, 129, 135, 207, 215, 301, 347, 478, etc., to the end of the Gospel (and 225 after chapter 7:36), and even to another evangelist, as 13, 69, 124, 346, and 556, though alien in tone from all but John, and suiting no place in John but here, where the mass of authority gives it. NA (probably), BC (probably), TX, with many cursives and ancient versions [as Syrain pesch,] simply omit the passage...All this, however, fails to meet the positive weight of truth in the passage; and its fitness at this very point of the Gospel is utterly unaccountable in a forgery or a tradition. The Lord is displaying the true light in His Person, as contrasted with others who boasted in the law. (“John 8” by W. Kelly)

The Lord’s habit in this respect, recorded by {vi 25864-25865;25904}{/vi}, is a strange reason for discrediting John’s mention of this particular instance. Nor does any reason appear to question that it was not merely "the crowd", but "the people" in a large sense which here flocked to the Lord’s teaching in the temple.
