Commentary on John 8:6
John reveals their motive - 'tempting him, that they might have to accuse him.' Religion becomes demonic when it seeks to destroy rather than restore. Jesus responds by writing on the ground, perhaps listing their sins or simply creating pause for reflection. His silence demonstrates wisdom in the face of manipulative questioning.
