Liz Lemon-Swindle portrays a Saint John's story about the divine
attribute of forgiveness. Knowing that Jesus took pity on sinners,
The Scribes and Pharisees tried to catch him condoning disobedience
to the Law. They brought before him a woman taken in adultery
and said, "Moses in the law commanded us, that such should
be stoned: but what sayest thou?" Jesus stooped down, writing
on the ground with his finger, as though he had not heard them.
When they continued asking, he said to them, "He that is
without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."
And he continued writing on the ground. Convicted by their own
conscience, they left one by one. 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?" She
said, "No man, Lord." And Jesus said unto her, "Neither
do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more." |
