- 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.
