These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
These words spake Jesus in the treasury - a division, so called, of the forecourt of the temple, part of the court of the women (Josephus, Ant. 19: 6. 2, etc.), which may confirm the genuinenss of John 8:2; John 8:11, as the place where the woman was brought. As he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come. See the note at John 7:30. In the dialogue that follows, the conflict waxes sharper on both sides.
