What A Merciful Lord!
The law of that day was that anyone caught in the act of adultery would be stoned to death.
Do you feel the pharisees were right in sentencing her to death by stoning since it was the law?
Why wasn't the man that had been with her being sentenced to death as well?
Expanded Verses:
1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early
in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him,
and he sat down and taught them. 3 The scribes
and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing
her in the midst 4 they said to him, “Teacher, this
woman has been caught in the act of adultery. 5 Now in
the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you
say?” 6 This they said to test him, that
they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote
with his finger on the ground. 7 And as they
continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is
without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 And
once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. 9 But
when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones,
and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. 10 Jesus stood up and said to
her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 She
said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and
from now on sin no more.”
