JESUS AND THE ADULTEROUS WOMAN

JOHN 8 3 to 11

The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus:

Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?

They were using this question as a trap… he straightened up and said to them:

If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her…

At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her:

Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you? No one, sir, she said.Then neither do I condemn you, Jesus declared. Go now and leave your life of sin.
