J 8:
Their intention was to create a dilemma for Jesus:3 The scribes and Pharisees, however, brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before them 4and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. So what do You say?”
6 They said this to test Him, in order to have a basis for accusing Him.
- If Jesus said to stone her, they would accuse him of disregarding Roman law, which reserved the right of capital punishment for the Roman authorities.
- If he said not to stone her, they would accuse him of breaking the Law of Moses.
