And of course the guy gets a pass. It’s always the woman’s fault.
We just talked about this verse in church and Sunday school. I think it was in class where the pastor said something like “Yeah - I wonder if what Jesus wrote in the dirt was ‘Where’s the guy?’” But yes - showed the duplicitous nature of the Pharasee’s question (it’s a trap!).
I told my wife - “Aren’t you glad I kept quiet and didn’t tell my joke?” “So Jesus says ‘You who without sin cast the first stone.’ Then this big rock comes sailing in and bonks the woman right in the head. Jesus looks over - “Mom!!!”
I heard a sermon recently on that passage and because the man was not there as well, the pastor thinks the whole thing was actually a set up to trap Jesus and the woman was just the pawn the Pharisees were using.
