Edward F. Hills

At John 8:6 the King James translators followed the Bishops' Bible in adding the clause, "as though He heard them not." This clause is found in E G H K and many other manuscripts, in the Complutensian, and in the first two editions of Stephanus. After 1769 it was placed in italics in the King James Version.

This is an error though, because the Bishops' Bible does not contain "as though He heard them not" as Hills claims.

Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible

Barnes says of "As though he heard them not":

"As though he heard them not - This is added by the translators. It is not in the original, and should not have been added. There is no intimation in the original, as it seems to be implied by this addition, that the object was to convey the impression that he did not hear them. What was his object is unknown, and conjecture is useless. The most probable reason seems to be that he did not wish to intermeddle; that he designed to show no solicitude to decide the case; and that he did not mean to decide it unless he was constrained to."

Gill's Exposition of the Whole Bible

Gill says of "As though he heard them not":

"as though he heard them not; though this clause is not in many copies, nor in the Vulgate Latin, nor in any of the Oriental versions, but is in five of Beza's copies, and in the Complutensian edition."

Cambridge Greek Testament for Schools and Colleges

"...Either rendering would agree with this interpretation, which our translators have insisted on as certain by inserting the gloss (not found in any earlier English Version except the Bishops’ Bible), ‘as though He heard them not.’ The Greek is μὴ προσποιούμενος, which Stephens admitted into his editions of 1546 and 1549, but not into that of 1550, which became the Textus Receptus. But it is just possible that by writing on the stone pavement of the Temple He wished to remind them of the ‘tables of stone, written with the finger of God’ (Exodus 31:18; Deuteronomy 9:10). They were hoping that He would explain away the seventh commandment, in order that they themselves might break the sixth." (Cambridge Greek Testament for Schools and Colleges 1896.)

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

"And with his finger wrote on the ground. The words of our translators in Italics - "as though he heard them not" - have hardly improved the sense, for it is scarcely probable He could wish that to be thought. Rather He wished to show them His aversion to enter on the subject. But this did not suit them. They pressed for an answer." (Jamieson, Robert, D.D.; Fausset, A. R.; Brown, David.)
