John 8:2 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

So at our Lord's last passover Luke notes, Luke 21:38, that all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him. Our Saviour's early going into the temple to teach, and the people's diligence in coming so early to him to hear, ought to check our slothfulness in sacred business. Multitudes of people came to him; for so the universal particle all must be expounded in a multitude of Scriptures. He, after the manner of the Jewish teachers, sat down, and taught them. Of this custom of theirs, for their doctors, while they taught, to sit down, we have had occasion to speak before.

John 8:2

2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
