This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 8:10. Καὶ μηδένα θεασάμενος πλὴν τῆς γυναικός) The preposition πλήν, which is employed by John in no passage of all his writings, betrays the fact of these words being a gloss unknown to the ancients: he has everywhere expressed the force of that preposition by some other word.[218]-ἐκεῖνοι, those) They had now fled far away.
[218] Therefore Beng. here clearly approves of the omission of this clause (which the larger Ed. had less sanctioned), along with 2 Ed., and also the Vers. Germ.-E. B. [D Vulg. and several Versions, and Ambrose and Augustine, all omit the words.-E. and T.]
