God's Word (John, Chapter 8:1-7, 10, 11):
Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst they said to him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?" This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her."

Was the apprehended woman His mother? No.

Was His mother in the crowd? There's no indication of that.

Did Jesus have to make sure that His mother wasn't in the crowd so that He could make His points?

Jesus stood up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more."

Salvation,
Did Jesus know that His mother, Mary, was not in the crowd and therefore this was a good opportunity for the Son of God to make His points about sin?

What do YOU think?

Here's one:
If His mother, Mary, HAD BEEN in the crowd, would she have been compelled to hurl a stone at the apprehended woman - since YOU SEEM TO BELIEVE that Mary was without sin?

I'd like to have your answers. I'll wait.

Go ahead and post a link, a picture, or Copy and Paste text from a web site, if you must but try to answer my questions.
