Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin"

John 8:1-11

At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.

But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”  “No one, sir,” she said  “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

Although this story is probably genuine, it is unlikely that it originally belonged here (some manuscripts place it after Luke 21:38). The lawyers are trying to trap Jesus. They intend to push him either into contradicting the Mosaic law or into falling foul of the Roman authorities, who did not allow Jews to carry out a death sentence. But Jesus did neither - more did he condemn, or condone the woman's conduct. He gave her a second chance.

Why?

The lawers have no mercy and love they try to be a judgment before the men and try to trap Jesus.

Jesus is love and his coming is to teach us the way to getting eternal life. For all the human beings have sinned and have no hope from sins.

Go and leave your life of sin is the word of Jesus to the woman, and it is giving to us either.

面對法利賽人抓到行淫的婦人，要看耶穌如何處理?是否會遵守律法?若耶穌定她罪，就顯出沒有慈愛了。法利賽人想定別人的罪，耶穌在想赦免人的罪。人喜歡定別人的罪，指出別人的罪來顯出自己的好。他們做了是要人看見，用指責別人來定別人的罪，比濫！耶穌要文士、法利賽人先認自己人的責，動機被耶穌指出，不要雙重標準，他們暗地所行的是否要受罰。

耶穌來本來就不是定人的罪，而是傳恩典與真理！摩西只告訴人律法，耶穌傳律法與恩典！不要再犯罪是律法。我們在指責別人時，也求神光照我們看到自己的罪！讓我們更多憐憫人。

How?

Jesus is the only righteous man in the world, but his coming is to bring the way of eternal life to all of us.
