SCRIPTURE

"And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them." — John 8:2 (ASV)

And early in the morning he came again into the temple
Which shows his diligence, constancy, and assiduity, in his ministerial work, as well as his courage and intrepidity; being fearless of his enemies, though careful to give them no advantage against him, before his time:

and all the people came unto him ;
which also commends the industry and diligence of his hearers, who were forward to hear him, and were early at the temple for that purpose, and that in great numbers:

and he sat down and taught them ;
he sat, as his manner was; (See Gill on Matthew 5:1); and taught them as one having authority, and such doctrine, and in such a manner, as never man did; with all plainness, boldness, and freedom.
