John 8:1-11 1 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, “Let any one of you who is without sin 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.”
Here we see that the Lord Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Early in the morning he returned to the temple, and all the people went to him to listen to his teaching. The scribes and Pharisees came to Jesus with a woman who had been caught in adultery, and said to him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” They said this to tempt Jesus to accuse him. According to Old Testament law: If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10) The scribes and Pharisees brought only the adulteress and not the adulterer in order to accuse Jesus, Jesus knew everything and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” They left one by one. In fact, their sins were very great, they wanted to accuse Jesus. The Lord Jesus is sinless and can condemn this woman, but He said, “Then neither do I condemn you, Go now and leave your life of sin.” The Lord Jesus came to the world not to condemn, but to save, to save those who repent. The Lord Jesus does not look at the sins committed by an old man or old life, and gives people the opportunities to repent. If a person is willing to repent and leave the life of sin, He will forgive him and give him a new life.
May God bless you and your family. 🙏😀
