But Jesus
The phrase "But Jesus" introduces a contrast to the preceding events in John 7, where there was much debate and division among the people regarding Jesus' identity. The Greek word for "but" (δέ, de) often serves as a transitional conjunction, indicating a shift in focus. Here, it emphasizes Jesus' deliberate actions amidst the chaos and confusion surrounding Him. Jesus, whose name in Greek is Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous), is the central figure of the Gospel, embodying divine wisdom and authority. His actions are purposeful and reflect His mission to fulfill the will of the Father.

went
The verb "went" (ἐπορεύθη, eporeuthē) suggests a purposeful movement. In the context of Jesus' ministry, His movements are never random but are guided by divine intention. This word implies a journey or a transition, often used in the Gospels to describe Jesus' travels as He teaches, heals, and fulfills His mission. It reflects His obedience to the Father's will and His commitment to His earthly ministry.

to the Mount of Olives
The "Mount of Olives" (Ὄρος τῶν Ἐλαιῶν, Oros tōn Elaiōn) is a significant location in biblical history and prophecy. Situated east of Jerusalem, it is a place where Jesus often withdrew for prayer and reflection, as seen in other Gospel accounts. The Mount of Olives holds eschatological significance, being associated with the return of the Messiah in Zechariah 14:4. In the context of John 8:1, Jesus' retreat to this location underscores His need for solitude and communion with the Father, preparing for the events that would soon unfold. Historically, the Mount of Olives was a place of olive groves, and its name reflects its agricultural significance. It serves as a backdrop for many pivotal moments in Jesus' life, symbolizing peace, anointing, and the presence of God.

VIII.

(1) It is an instructive example of the way in which the artificial division into chapters often mars the sense. that one verse of this section is found at the close of the last chapter, and the remainder in this.

Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.--The Mount of Olives is nowhere mentioned by St. John. In John 18:1 he describes the locality, but without this name (see Note there). His habit, moreover, in giving topographical details of Palestine is to explain them for his Greek readers. (See Note on John 4:5.)
