To Jeaniebeanz may I show the comment from "Coffman's Commentaries On the Old and New Testament"
John 8
In this chapter, the controversy continues. There is the case of the woman taken in adultery (John 7:53-8:11); Jesus the Light of the world (John 8:12-20.); teaching of his heavenly origin (John 8:21-30); and the passage on the true children of Abraham (John 8:31-59).
THE WOMAN TAKEN IN ADULTERY
This paragraph (John 7:53-8:11) is omitted from later versions of the New Testament, upon the basis of convincing arguments denying it a place in the sacred canon. Hendriksen, after canvassing all of the scholarly findings on the subject, concluded thus:
Though it cannot now be proved that this story formed an integral part of the Fourth Gospel, neither is it possible to establish the opposite with any degree of finality. We believe moreover, that what is recorded here really took place and contains nothing in conflict with the apostolic spirit. F1
We shall study the narrative as it has come down to us.
Mind you, it is just the sort of thing that I can believe that Jesus would say (Blues)
