		+	'''as though he heard them not'''
		+
		+	μὴ προσποιούμενος is translated "as though he heard them not" in the KJV. This is one of the rare instances where the Greek of Beza in his main body of text, differs from the KJV reading.

		+	===[[The Nuremberg Polyglot‎]]===
		+	The [[1599 AD|1599]] [[Nuremberg Polyglot‎]] contains the exact reading of the KJV in Greek μὴ προσποιούμενος.
		+	[[Image:john_8_6_Hutter_Polyglot_Greek.JPG|thumb|300px|μὴ προσποιούμενος appears in John 8:6 in the [[1599 AD|1599]] Hutter Polyglot, 12 years before the publication of the KJV]]
		+
		+	===King James Version===
		+	The words are in the text of the KJV [[1611 AD|1611]] edition, without italics. The [[clause]] is retained in modern editions of the KJV but in [[italics]] in all post [[1769 AD|1769]] editions.
		+
		+	* [[1611 AD|1611]] This they said, tempting him, that they might haue to accuse him. But Iesus stouped downe, and with his finger wrote on the ground as though he heard them not.
		+	* [[1900 AD|1900]]  This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, ''as though he heard them not''.

		+	===Omissions===
		+	"as though he heard them not" is omitted by the [[Douay Rheims]] , [[Revised Version]], Ne, [[New International Version]], [[New King James Version]] margin., [[Revised Standard Version]], [[Good News]], [[Living Bible]], [[Amplified Version]], [[New American Standard Bible]], [[New English Bible]], [[New World Translation]], [[Jerusalem Bible]].

		+	A footnote in the Novum Testamentum Graece, Textum ad fidem codicum versionum et patrum by Griesbach [https://books.google.com.pk/books?id=mKJkAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA552&lpg=PA552&dq=%22%CE%BC%E1%BD%B4+%CF%80%CF%81%CE%BF%CF%83%CF%80%CE%BF%CE%B9%CE%BF%CF%8D%CE%BC%CE%B5%CE%BD%CE%BF%CF%82%22&source=bl&ots=JCOnbXEhDz&sig=A2_JqPb_yIswTlSVw5yq84E_yUw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiBsZiHq8zLAhWItxoKHfUeAeQ4ChDoAQgiMAM#v=onepage&q=%22%CE%BC%E1%BD%B4%20%CF%80%CF%81%CE%BF%CF%83%CF%80%CE%BF%CE%B9%CE%BF%CF%8D%CE%BC%CE%B5%CE%BD%CE%BF%CF%82%22&f=false] says about "μὴ προσποιούμενος":
		+
		+	: s+ προσποιούμενος 37. + καὶ προσποιούμενος 61 al.3. + μὴ προσποιούμενος EK 10.89 in m 91117 226** 227. 229. 235 [239] al. 37 Mt. a p q z al. 4 edd.Slav (exc.2) + μὴ προσποιούμενος αὐτούς Ev. 32 [Cf.Mt.ed.min] Barb.5 ut rec.
		+
		+	===Lightfoot===
		+	In The Gospel of St. John: A Newly Discovered Commentary by J. B. Lightfoot it says:
		+
		+	: μὴ προσποιούμενος ‘as though he heard them not’ A.V. which s correct, Only found in E, G, H, K, (also B.M.T. and T.R.). It is however absent in D, which is probably the earliest manuscript with this narrative. The word means either: 1) to pretend not to, to dissemble, or 2) not to heed. Here it would have the latter sense. See Diogenes Laetius 1x.29 and Menander in Step. ''Thess.'' VI, p. 1990 (edition H=D). The other readings such as καὶ προσποιούμενος are from the transcribers who do not understand the meaning of the phrase.
		+
		+	===Lange===
		+
		+	In Lange's commentary on the Holy Scripture, Volume 6, by John Peter Lange (edited by [[Philip Schaff]]), it has:
		+
		+	:And with his finger wrote<sup><u>33</u></sup> on the ground.<sup><u>34</u></sup>-Some manuscripts such as E. K., add μὴ προσποιούμενος [''dissimulans'']. others καὶ προσποιούμενος [''simulans'']: that is, according to Lücke, in the one case: not merely feigning; in the other: only feigning. Manifestly exefetical additions. According to the correct interpretation of Euthymius Zigabenus, the whole act of stooping down and writing on the ground was symbolical, and was meant to express inattention to the questioners before Him. Lücke: “This gesture was familiar to antiquity as a representation of deep musing, perplexity or langour of mind”; see the examples of Lucke, p 269, note 1, where Westein also is quoted. It is, therefore, contrary to the spirit of the text to ask what Jesus might have written (Michaelis: the answer: “As it is written” Bede: the sentence on John 8:7; Conjectures in Wolf and Lampe).<sup><u>35</u></sup>
		+
		+	===Berry's Greek text===
		+	It is absent from Berry's Greek text. (Berry's is the 3rd edition of Stephans text).
		+
		+	===Frederick Henry Ambrose Scrivener===
		+	In his Appendix E—The Greek Text Adopted in the Bible of 1611 Examined and Arranged, stated:
		+	:S. JOHN viii. 6. To the end μὴ προσποιούμενος added by Compl., Stephen 1546, 1549, Bishops’ (“as though he heard them not” italicised not earlier than 1769).
		+
		+	The Textus Receptus of Scrivener 1894 reads this way: "ο δε ιησους κατω κυψας τω δακτυλω εγραφεν εις την γην μη προσποιουμενος".
		+
		+	===[[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.
		+
		+	===Tozer Russell===
		+	[[Image:john_8_6_Tozer Russell.JPG|thumb|300px|Tozer Russell in [[1860 AD|1860]] mentions that latter editions of Beza have John 8:6]]
		+	In the book ''Memoirs of the life and works of Lancelot Andrewes'' By Arthur Tozer Russell he points out that:
		+
		+	"John 8:6. , not in Stephens, but in Beza's earlier editions, as previously in the Complutensian. The verb used in Isidore Pelus, l. 1. Ep 420, for animum advertere.
		+
		+	====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.)
		+
		+	===[[New King James Version]]===
		+	The [[New King James Version]] has:
		+	:This they said, testing Him, that they might have ''something'' of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with ''His'' finger, as though He did not hear.[f]
		+
		+	:f. John 8:6 NU-Text and M-Text omit as though He did not hear.
		+
		+	===Byzantine Majority Text 2005===
		+	μὴ προσποιούμενος is also the reading found in the Greek Byzantine Majority Text of 2005:
		+	:"Tοῦτο δὲ ἔλεγον πειράζοντες αὐτόν, ἵνα ἔχωσιν κατηγορεῖν αὐτοῦ. Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς κάτω κύψας, τῷ δακτύλῳ ἔγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν, <u>μὴ προσποιούμενος</u>."
		+
		+	===English Majority Text===
		+	[[The English Majority Text Version]] translated by [[Paul W. Esposito]], Th.D has:
		+	:But this they said, testing Him, that they might have an accusation against Him. But Jesus, stooping down, began to write on the ground with His finger, <u>not taking notice</u>.
		+
		+	===[[Logos 21 Version]]===
		+	The [[1996 AD|1996]] [[Logos 21 Version]] is a Greek Majority Text pocket book Gospel of John. It omits the clause. The general editor is Arthur L. Farstad of the NKJV translation committee. Others are, William H. McDowell, English editor of the NKJV, Zane C. Hodges who was the co-editor with Dr. Farstad of The Greek New Testament According to the Majority Text, from which this translation was made, Curtis Vaughan and many majority text proponents and NKJV people worked on it also.

Commentary

This is the only written record of Jesus writing anything.

as though he heard them not

μὴ προσποιούμενος is translated "as though he heard them not" in the KJV. This is one of the rare instances where the Greek of Beza in his main body of text, differs from the KJV reading.

Greek Manuscripts

The clause is found in E, G, H, K2, 18, 27, 35, 475, 532, 579, 682 (1194 omit me) 1212, 1505, 1519, in the Complutensian Polyglot and in the first two editions of Stephanus.

The Nuremberg Polyglot‎

The 1599 Nuremberg Polyglot‎ contains the exact reading of the KJV in Greek μὴ προσποιούμενος.

King James Version

The words are in the text of the KJV 1611 edition, without italics. The clause is retained in modern editions of the KJV but in italics in all post 1769 editions.

• 1611 This they said, tempting him, that they might haue to accuse him. But Iesus stouped downe, and with his finger wrote on the ground as though he heard them not.
• 1900 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

Omissions

"as though he heard them not" is omitted by the Douay Rheims , Revised Version, Ne, New International Version, New King James Version margin., Revised Standard Version, Good News, Living Bible, Amplified Version, New American Standard Bible, New English Bible, New World Translation, Jerusalem Bible.

Griesbach

A footnote in the Novum Testamentum Graece, Textum ad fidem codicum versionum et patrum by Griesbach [2] says about "μὴ προσποιούμενος":

s+ προσποιούμενος 37. + καὶ προσποιούμενος 61 al.3. + μὴ προσποιούμενος EK 10.89 in m 91117 226** 227. 229. 235 [239] al. 37 Mt. a p q z al. 4 edd.Slav (exc.2) + μὴ προσποιούμενος αὐτούς Ev. 32 [Cf.Mt.ed.min] Barb.5 ut rec.

Lightfoot

In The Gospel of St. John: A Newly Discovered Commentary by J. B. Lightfoot it says:

μὴ προσποιούμενος ‘as though he heard them not’ A.V. which s correct, Only found in E, G, H, K, (also B.M.T. and T.R.). It is however absent in D, which is probably the earliest manuscript with this narrative. The word means either: 1) to pretend not to, to dissemble, or 2) not to heed. Here it would have the latter sense. See Diogenes Laetius 1x.29 and Menander in Step. Thess. VI, p. 1990 (edition H=D). The other readings such as καὶ προσποιούμενος are from the transcribers who do not understand the meaning of the phrase.

Lange

In Lange's commentary on the Holy Scripture, Volume 6, by John Peter Lange (edited by Philip Schaff), it has:

And with his finger wrote³³ on the ground.³⁴-Some manuscripts such as E. K., add μὴ προσποιούμενος [dissimulans]. others καὶ προσποιούμενος [simulans]: that is, according to Lücke, in the one case: not merely feigning; in the other: only feigning. Manifestly exefetical additions. According to the correct interpretation of Euthymius Zigabenus, the whole act of stooping down and writing on the ground was symbolical, and was meant to express inattention to the questioners before Him. Lücke: “This gesture was familiar to antiquity as a representation of deep musing, perplexity or langour of mind”; see the examples of Lucke, p 269, note 1, where Westein also is quoted. It is, therefore, contrary to the spirit of the text to ask what Jesus might have written (Michaelis: the answer: “As it is written” Bede: the sentence on John 8:7; Conjectures in Wolf and Lampe).³⁵

Berry's Greek text

It is absent from Berry's Greek text. (Berry's is the 3rd edition of Stephans text).

Frederick Henry Ambrose Scrivener

In his Appendix E—The Greek Text Adopted in the Bible of 1611 Examined and Arranged, stated:

S. JOHN viii. 6. To the end μὴ προσποιούμενος added by Compl., Stephen 1546, 1549, Bishops’ (“as though he heard them not” italicised not earlier than 1769).

The Textus Receptus of Scrivener 1894 reads this way: "ο δε ιησους κατω κυψας τω δακτυλω εγραφεν εις την γην μη προσποιουμενος".

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.

Tozer Russell

In the book Memoirs of the life and works of Lancelot Andrewes By Arthur Tozer Russell he points out that:

"John 8:6. , not in Stephens, but in Beza's earlier editions, as previously in the Complutensian. The verb used in Isidore Pelus, l. 1. Ep 420, for animum advertere.

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.)

New King James Version

The New King James Version has:

This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear.[f]

f. John 8:6 NU-Text and M-Text omit as though He did not hear.

Byzantine Majority Text 2005

μὴ προσποιούμενος is also the reading found in the Greek Byzantine Majority Text of 2005:

"Tοῦτο δὲ ἔλεγον πειράζοντες αὐτόν, ἵνα ἔχωσιν κατηγορεῖν αὐτοῦ. Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς κάτω κύψας, τῷ δακτύλῳ ἔγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν, μὴ προσποιούμενος."

English Majority Text

The English Majority Text Version translated by Paul W. Esposito, Th.D has:

But this they said, testing Him, that they might have an accusation against Him. But Jesus, stooping down, began to write on the ground with His finger, not taking notice.

Logos 21 Version

The 1996 Logos 21 Version is a Greek Majority Text pocket book Gospel of John. It omits the clause. The general editor is Arthur L. Farstad of the NKJV translation committee. Others are, William H. McDowell, English editor of the NKJV, Zane C. Hodges who was the co-editor with Dr. Farstad of The Greek New Testament According to the Majority Text, from which this translation was made, Curtis Vaughan and many majority text proponents and NKJV people worked on it also.
