Accused

John 8

1) Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

2) And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

3) And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

4) They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

Heb 413) Neither is there any creature

that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. (Pr. 15:3, Acts 17:31)

14) Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

16) Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

John 8

4) They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

5) Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

Deut 2223) If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed

unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; (2 Cor. 11:2)

24) Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man,

because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.

Accuser

John 86) This they said, tempting him, that they

might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

• Matthew 12:36-37

• John 5:45

• Hebrews 12:1, 1 Corinthians 6:2

John 8

5) Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

6) This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him.

Num 5:16-19

If there is no witness to the act and you don’t have both parties the

woman is set before the Lord and the ‘dust’ determines if she gets

cursed.

Acquitted

John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and

said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a

stone at her.

They knew from the start they didn’t have grounds to stone her.

The scribes and Pharisees were responsible to know & enforce the law.

John 88) And again he stooped down, and wrote on the

ground.

9) And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10) When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

John 8:11She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus

said unto her, Neither do I condemnthee: go, and sin no more.

Condemned: without hope; a condemned prisoner is waiting to be

killed for a crime. A condemned building is in very bad condition and is

going to be destroyed

John 3

17) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18) He that believeth on him is not condemned:

but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

John 3

19) And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20) For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

John 3

21) But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made

manifest, that they are wrought in God.

that they are wrought in God

Eph 2:10

Proverbs 28:13-14

13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

14 Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

John 8:11

She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go,

and sin no more.
