SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:8
Y volvindose a inclinar hacia abajo, escribía en tierra.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 8. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground .] As before, having said enough to confound them; and yet unwilling to pursue the matter any further, or publicly expose them in any other way; and that they might have an opportunity of withdrawing themselves without any further notice of his, he took this method.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-11 - Christ neither found fault with the law, nor excused the prisoner' guilt; nor did he countenance the pretended zeal of the Pharisees Those are self-condemned who judge others, and yet do the same thing All who are any way called to blame the faults of others, ar especially concerned to look to themselves, and keep themselves pure In this matter Christ attended to the great work about which he cam into the world, that was, to bring sinners to repentance; not to destroy, but to save. He aimed to bring, not only the accused to repentance, by showing her his mercy, but the prosecutors also, by showing them their sins; they thought to insnare him, he sought to convince and convert them. He declined to meddle with the magistrate' office. Many crimes merit far more severe punishment than they mee with; but we should not leave our own work, to take that upon ourselve to which we are not called. When Christ sent her away, it was with thi caution, God, and sin no more. Those who help to save the life of criminal, should help to save the soul with the same caution. Those ar truly happy, whom Christ does not condemn. Christ's favour to us in the forgiveness of past sins should prevail with us, God then, and sin n more.
