John 8:1

Verse 1, and so forth [1] The last verse of the foregoing chapter, and the eleven verses that follow in this, are not found in the greater part of our present Greek copies, yet they are in some MSS. and so are retained in the Prot. translation. We read nothing of them in the commentaries of Saint John Chrysostom or S. Cyril; but S. Jerom (l. ii. con. Pelag. tom. 4, part 2, p. 521. Ed. Ben.) says, they were found in many both Lat. and Greek copies. Saint Ambrose (Ep. 52.) says this passage, of the woman taken in adultery, was always famous in the Church. Saint Augustine expounds them, tract. in Joan, and so forth Witham.
