Luke specifically says that he lodged on the Mount of Olives (Luke 21:37 cf. Leon Morris - The Synoptic Gospels tell us that the pattern Jesus followed during the closing days of his life was to teach in Jerusalem during the day, and to retire outside the city to spend the night. And now in John 8 we see Jesus moving on to the Mount of Olives, that elevation that lies just to the east of the Temple Mount. While John 7 strikes me as a sad chapter, the gracious invitation of Jesus in John 7:37-39 is one of the most beautiful passages in the gospel of John. John 7 has shown us that the person, power and words of Jesus cause division with some considering Him to be the Prophet, some seeing Him as the Messiah (but no evidence that they truly believed in Him as their Redeemer from the penalty of sin) and others refuting His messiahship because of His origin from Galilee. Jesus is in the last 6 months of His earthly life with His face firmly fixed toward the Cross. The Feast of Tabernacles is over and the temperature is rising regarding the hatred of Jesus among the religious leaders. All that to say the notes on these passages will probably not be as in depth as other sections.īut Jesus went to the Mount of Olives - Note the contrast ' but' which should always stimulate your curiosity to ask what is the writer contrasting? In this case, we have just seen 'Everyone went to his home.' (John 7:53 - see Jamieson below). It seems that most commentaries treat these passages as legitimate but with the caveat that there is still a significant question as to authenticity.

I realize that there is disagreement on whether the passages in John 7:53-8:11 are truly inspired writings. John 8 - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries.John 8:1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Charts from Jensen's Survey of the NT - used by permission
