0:00.0 | All right, so good morning. I've spent an embarrassing amount of years pondering this one since I first heard |
0:07.6 | it when I was in the church choir as a child. This is John 8, and really, I think, cuts to the heart of |
0:15.9 | the differences between the Old and the New Testament. Jesus went unto the Mount of Olives, and early in the morning he came again into the temple, |
0:24.2 | and all the people came unto him, and he sat down and taught them. |
0:29.9 | And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery, and when they had |
0:36.5 | sat her in the midst, they say unto him, master, this woman was taken in adultery. And when they had sat her in the midst, they say unto him, |
0:39.6 | Master, this woman was taken in adultery in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us |
0:45.0 | that such should be stoned, but what sayest thou? This, they said, tempting him, that they might |
0:52.7 | have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down and with |

1:30.3 | left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself and saw none |
1:39.7 | but the woman, he said unto her, woman where are those thine accusers, has no man condemned thee? |
1:48.9 | She said, No man, Lord. |
1:51.6 | And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee. |
1:56.0 | Go, and sin no more. |
1:59.6 | This is amazing, deeply powerful. So remember, of course, Jesus was bound |
2:07.4 | by the laws of the Old Testament. And so if Jesus had said, don't stone her, then he would |
2:16.1 | have been revealed as disobeying the laws of the Old Testament, |
2:18.5 | which would have been extremely dangerous. |
