and looking around I wonder if they caught this woman themselves I wonder if they were standing by the doorpost and if they were waiting for for this woman to commit something or if they barged into her home and if they and if they just up and got her and dragged her out like I wonder how they actually caught her right this is just something that's going on in my head

And I also wonder why they caught the woman, but they didn't bring the man. Because it's so funny that the same religion and law that the Pharisees would boast and be so loud about, it's just so funny that they couldn't follow the same law that they preach about. Because if you go into Levitical law, Leviticus 20 tells us that if a man and a woman are caught in the action of adultery,

Both of them must be put to death, not just the woman. And so when the Pharisees are stating, oh, the law of Moses commands us to stone such women, my question is, where the heck is the man? Where is he at? Because if they knew the law and if they truly believed the law, they would have... They would have followed through with it and correct instruction.

And that just kind of points to us that the reason as to why the Pharisees brought the woman in the first place was because there is a self-righteousness that was being taken in place also. And so adultery, just so we know what adultery is, adultery is committing adultery. Obviously cheating on your spouse and adultery during this time was serious.

It was a capital offense It was something very big and it's something that you just don't take lightly you take it seriously And I wonder where the man was And I wonder why they brought this woman to jesus the way that they did Knowing that jesus couldn't even enforce the bed the death penalty on this girl because the pharisees brought this woman and they were like Hey

Such women were called to stone by the law of Moses. So what do you say about that? So this is why it was a trap to Jesus. Two reasons. Because one, he couldn't, he's in a compromising position to where the law does say to stone such people who have committed adultery. Simultaneously, though, if he were to do that, that would make him look harsh and careless and not empathizing with the people.

And we're going to get into Jesus's response later. But even if Jesus did have the authority, which he does have the authority to stone such women, the consensus during that time was that Judea was under Roman occupation. The Pharisees were responsible for enforcing religious laws upon their own community.

But when it came to the execution of people, the authority to carry out capital punishment was generally held by the Romans, not the local Jewish authorities. Like they didn't have the right to do that. So there was just a lot of things happening outside of order in order to embarrass Jesus and this woman.

And when I look at this woman, I think when we read this story, we could empathize with her a lot because I wonder how this woman felt during this time. I wonder how she felt standing before a crowd in shame and embarrassment, publicly exposed by sin, dragged and propped up as being some sort of pawn for self-righteousness and to prove a point. I wonder how used she felt in that moment.

And I've personally experienced what it feels like to be that woman standing in the face of adversity full of shame and grief, worry and deep sadness and being judged by a crowd that has never empathized with my weakness. Like imagine being propped up and being judged before a crowd that has failed to empathize with you.
