AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 8:1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. |
Subject: Why was not the man accused of adultery. |
Bible Note: Makarios, had Jesus said she should be condemned, the Pharisees could have accused him before the Romans of illegally counseling execution, a right strictly prohibited the Jews. Conversely, had Jesus abjured stoning, they could accuse him of contradicting the law of Moses, thus discrediting him. These guys were plotting his undoing and had no conscience. Jesus snares them in their own trap. Their silent exit had more to do with defeat than conviction of sin. |
