Neither Do I Condemn You

James Rochford
John 8:1-11

The Pharisees tried to put Jesus on the horns of a dilemma by dragging a woman caught in adultery before Him.  If He condemned her, He would violate Roman law, If He defends her, He breaks Old Testament Law.  Instead, He challenges the Pharisees to cast the first stone if they have no sinful involvement in this situation.

Caught in the Act

Scott Risley
John 8:1-11

Jesus turns the tables on the Pharisees who were trying to trap Jesus by bring to Him a woman caught in adultery.  If He defends her, He is in violation of the Law, and if He condemns her, He will offend the crowds.  Instead, He calls out the Pharisees to cast the first stone IF they had no sinful involvement in this woman's predicament.
