John: Chapter 8 Commentary
Cyrus Ingerson Scofield

John 8:1

Jesus

(Joh 7:53-8); (Joh 7:11); is not found in some of the most ancient manuscripts. Augustine declares that it was stricken from many copies of the sacred story because of a prudish fear that it might teach immorality! But the immediate context (Joh 7:12-46) beginning with Christ's declaration, "I am the light of the world." seems clearly to have its occasion in the conviction wrought in the hearts of the Pharisees, as recorded in; (Joh 8:9); as also, it explains the peculiar virulence of the Pharisee's words (Joh 7:41).

Abraham's

Compare (Joh 8:39).

The contrast, "I know that ye are Abraham's seed" -- "If ye were Abraham's children," is that between the natural and the spiritual posterity of Abraham. The Israelitish people and Ishmaelites are the former; all who are "of like precious faith with Abraham," whether Jews or Gentiles, are the latter; (Rom 9:6-8); (Gal 3:6-14).
