Footnotes

o John 7:53–8:11 is not found in the earliest and best manuscripts and was almost certainly not an original part of the Gospel of John; one significant group of Greek manuscripts places it after Luke 21:38
*Here “courts” is supplied to distinguish this area from the interior of the temple building itself
aSome manuscripts have “were coming to him”
*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“sat down”) has been translated as a finite verb
*The imperfect tense has been translated as ingressive here (“began to teach”)
