Contextual Overview

1 THEN Jesus went to the mount of Olives. 2 And in the morning he came again to the temple, and all the people were coming to him; and he sat down and taught them. 3 Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who was caught in adultery; and they made her to stand in the midst. 4 They said to him, Teacher, this woman was caught openly in the act of adultery. 5 Now in the law of Moses it is commanded that women such as these should be stoned; but what do you say? 6 They said this to tempt him, that they might have a cause to accuse him. While Jesus was bent down, he was writing on the ground. 7 When they were through questioning him, he straightened himself up and said to them, He who is among you without sin, let him first throw a stone at her. 8 And again as he bent down, he wrote on the ground. 9 And when they heard it, they left one by one, beginning with the elders; and the man woman was left alone in the midst. 10 When Jesus straightened himself up, he said to the woman, Where are they?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Jesus went unto the Mount of Olives. Which lay eastward of Jerusalem, about a mile from it; hither Christ went on the evening of the last day of the feast of tabernacles; partly to decline the danger, and avoid the snares the Jews might lay for him in the night season; having been disappointed and confounded in the daytime; and it may be for the sake of recreation and diversion, to sup with his dear friends Lazarus, Martha, and Mary, who lived at Bethany, not far from this mount; and chiefly for private prayer to God, on account of himself as man, and for his disciples, and for the spread of his Gospel, and for the enlargement of his interest; this being his common and usual method, Luke 21:37.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Mount of Olives - The mountain about a mile directly east of Jerusalem. See the notes at Matthew 21:1. This was the place in which he probably often passed the night when attending the feasts at Jerusalem. The Garden of Gethsemane, to which he was accustomed to resort John 18:2, was on the western side of that mountain, and Bethany, the abode of Martha and Mary, on its east side, John 11:1.
