When the scribes and Pharisees brought the adulterous woman before Jesus their goal was not justice but to discredit Jesus. They wanted to use the law to trap the one who wrote the law! There are many opinions about what Jesus wrote in the dirt but this may be the best one you’ll ever hear. Based on Numbers 5: 13,14; also Deuteronomy 22:22. What Jesus wrote, convicted those religious men and left the woman without accusers. Jesus didn’t condemn her because He would soon be taking her condemnation and ours.
