This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
53. That this verse, as well as Joh 8:1-2, is omitted in most MSS. shews that prudential reasons could not explain the omission of the paragraph in more than a very limited number of cases. It is a minority of MSS. which omit only Joh 8:3-11.

καὶ ἐπορ. ἕκαστος. see on Joh 8:1. And they went each man unto his own house. But Jesus went, &c. It is unfortunate that the verse should have been placed at the end of this chapter instead of at the beginning of the next: this arrangement destroys the contrast between Jesus and the others, and creates an impression that the verse records the breaking up of the meeting of the Sanhedrin.
