The Woman Caught in Adultery

The teachers of the law and Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery to Jesus. They said, "Moses commanded us to stone such women. What do you say?" Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger. When they kept questioning him, he straightened up and said, "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." One by one, they left. Jesus asked, "Where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?" She said, "No one, Lord." Jesus replied, "Neither do I condemn you. Go now and leave your life of sin." Grace doesn't condemn—it offers a fresh start.
