Yohanes 8:5

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

Yohanes 19:7

19:7 The Jewish leaders ³  replied, ⁴  “We have a law, ⁵  and according to our law he ought to die, because he claimed to be the Son of God!” ⁶ 

[8:5]  ¹ sn An allusion to Lev 20:10 and Deut 22:22-24.

[8:5]  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.

[19:7]  ³ tn Or “the Jewish authorities”; Grk “the Jews.” In NT usage the term ᾿Ιουδαῖοι (Ioudaioi) may refer to the entire Jewish people, the residents of Jerusalem and surrounding territory, the authorities in Jerusalem, or merely those who were hostile to Jesus. (For further information see R. G. Bratcher, “‘The Jews’ in the Gospel of John,” BT 26 [1975]: 401-9.) Here the phrase refers to the Jewish leaders, especially members of the Sanhedrin, and their servants (mentioned specifically as “the chief priests and their servants” in John 19:6).

[19:7]  ⁴ tn Grk “answered him.”

[19:7]  ⁵ sn This law is not the entire Pentateuch, but Lev 24:16.

[19:7]  ⁶ tn Grk “because he made himself out to be the Son of God.”
