Jn 8:1-20

  • the adulterous woman
    • caught in the act of adultery
    • she was used as a trap to establish a base to accuse Jesus
    • Jesus didn't reply at first
      • he bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger
    • when repeatedly asked, Jesus replied
      • if any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.
    • then he continued with writing
    • then they left one-by-one, starting with the eldest
    • when there's only Jesus left, he straightened up and said to the woman
      • ...go now and leave your life of sin
  • the Pharisees accused Jesus the validity of his testimony
    • Jesus appeared as his own witness -> not valid
    • I am not alone; I stand with the Father, who sent me
    • where is your father, they asked
    • you do not know me or my father; if you knew me, you would know my father also.
