THE WOMAN CAUGHT IN ADULTERY

John 8:1-11

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

2 At dawn He appeared again in the Temple Courts,

Where all the people gathered around Him,

And He sat down to teach them.

3 The Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees

BROUGHT IN A WOMAN CAUGHT IN ADULTERY.

They made her stand before the group

4 And said to Jesus, 'Teacher,

THIS WOMAN WAS CAUGHT IN THE ACT OF ADULTERY.

5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women.

Now what do you say?'

6 THEY WERE USING THIS QUESTION AS A TRAP,

IN ORDER TO HAVE A BASIS FOR ACCUSING HIM.

But Jesus bent down and started to write

On the ground with His finger.

7 When they kept on questioning Him,

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.'

8 Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.

9 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.

10 Jesus straightened up and asked her,

'Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?'

11 'No one sir,' she said.

'Then neither do I condemn you,' Jesus declared.

'GO NOW AND LEAVE YOUR LIFE OF SIN.'

(John 8:1-11)

Today, the godless try to catch Christians being hypocrites;

Not following what they say they believe.

Christ Jesus has called us to be His Witnesses

To this Faith we claim.

It is our being Faithful Witnesses to Christ and His Word,

That is critical for the World to see;

That there is something Good and Right

In this wicked World.

Christ Jesus says to everyone:

'GO NOW AND LEAVE YOUR LIFE OF SIN.'
