Summary: Pastor Ken Hutcherson 8:1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 1 8:2 Early in the morning he came to the temple courts again. All the people came to him, and he sat down and began to teach 2 them. 8:3 The experts in the law 3 and the Pharisees 4 brought a woman who had been caught committing adultery.They made her stand in front of them 8:4 and said to Jesus, 5 “Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of adultery. 8:5 In the law Mosescommanded us to stone to death 6 such women. 7 What then do you say?” 8:6 (Now they were asking this in an attempt to trap him, so that they could bring charges against 8 him.) 9 Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger. 10 8:7 When they persisted in asking him, he stood up straight 11 and replied, 12 “Whoever among you is guiltless 13 may be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8:8 Then 14 he bent overagain and wrote on the ground. 8:9 Now when they heard this, they began to drift away one at a time, starting with the older ones, 15 until Jesus was left alone with the womanstanding before him. 8:10 Jesus stood up straight 16 and said to her, “Woman, 17 where are they? Did no one condemn you?” 8:11 She replied,“No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you either. Go, and from now on do not sin any more.” 18
