John 8:6 in context

John 8:5      John 8:7

John 8:6

They said this to test (entrap) him so that they could accuse him. But Jesus bent down and began to write (draw) on the ground with his finger.
[The floor of the women's courtyard was paved with stone. Perhaps Jesus wrote real letters in the dust on the floor, or just drew in the air and alluded to Jer. 17:13 where "Those who turn away from me are like writing in the sand." This is in contrast to having one's name carved forever in the rock, see Job 19:24. Perhaps he wrote on two floor stones, causing those present to think of how God wrote the law on two stone tablets, see Ex. 31:18.]
