Contextual Overview

1Jesus went to Olive Hill, 2but was back at the main church early the next morning. He drew quite a crowd. He sat them all down and taught them how to ride for God's outfit. 3As he was teaching, some seminary professors and a Pharisee brought a woman who had just been caught having sex with a married man. They stood her up in front of the gawking crowd. 4"Oh great teacher," they chided, "we caught this woman having sex with a married man. 5The code of Moses says to kill her with stones. What say you?" 6Jesus knew they were trying to trap him. He said nothing, but stooped down and started writing something in the dust with his finger. 7They kept hounding him for an answer, but when he stood up, he said, "Stone her. But only the man who has never sinned, not even once in his entire life, may throw a stone." 8He knelt back down and continued writing in the dirt. 9The oldest of the woman's accusers walked off first, but soon all of them had gone. Now it was just Jesus and woman standing among the crowd. 10He finally stood up and looked around. "Where are all your accusers, my lady? Is there no one here to accuse you?"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Jesus went unto the Mount of Olives. Which lay eastward of Jerusalem, about a mile from it; hither Christ went on the evening of the last day of the feast of tabernacles; partly to decline the danger, and avoid the snares the Jews might lay for him in the night season; having been disappointed and confounded in the daytime; and it may be for the sake of recreation and diversion, to sup with his dear friends Lazarus, Martha, and Mary, who lived at Bethany, not far from this mount; and chiefly for private prayer to God, on account of himself as man, and for his disciples, and for the spread of his Gospel, and for the enlargement of his interest; this being his common and usual method, Luke 21:37.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Mount of Olives - The mountain about a mile directly east of Jerusalem. See the notes at Matthew 21:1. This was the place in which he probably often passed the night when attending the feasts at Jerusalem. The Garden of Gethsemane, to which he was accustomed to resort John 18:2, was on the western side of that mountain, and Bethany, the abode of Martha and Mary, on its east side, John 11:1.
