Yohanes 8:5
Konteks8:5 In the law Moses commanded us to stone to death 1 such women. 2 What then do you say?”
Yohanes 8:17
Konteks8:17 It is written in your law that the testimony of two men is true. 3
Yohanes 15:25
Konteks15:25 Now this happened 4 to fulfill the word that is written in their law, ‘They hated me without reason.’ 5
[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.
[8:17] 3 sn An allusion to Deut 17:6.
[15:25] 4 tn The words “this happened” are not in the Greek text but are supplied to complete an ellipsis.
[15:25] 5 sn A quotation from Ps 35:19 and Ps 69:4. As a technical term law (νόμος, nomos) is usually restricted to the Pentateuch (the first five books of the OT), but here it must have a broader reference, since the quotation is from Ps 35:19 or Ps 69:4. The latter is the more likely source for the quoted words, since it is cited elsewhere in John’s Gospel (2:17 and 19:29, in both instances in contexts associated with Jesus’ suffering and death).
