  • PER217 The woman caught in adultery

    Pericope 217 recounts the episode of the woman caught in adultery (John 8.1-11), in which Pharisees set a trap for Jesus by bringing him a woman caught in the very act. Jesus foils the trap with his famous saying inviting the one who is without sin to cast the first stone, then forgives the woman. This account, whose textual authenticity is debated, illustrates the union of divine justice and mercy, and reveals Jesus' unique authority to justify.

    Leviticus 20.10 (King James Version) :
    And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.Notediscovered: Heb. made nakedNoteuncovereth: Heb. hath made nakedNotean…: Heb. a separation

  • PDA001 Casting the stone

    The article deals with the biblical episode in which Jesus confronts the accusers of an adulterous woman, teaching forgiveness rather than judgment. Jesus declares that only the one who is without sin may cast the first stone, an answer that scatters the accusers. This account highlights Jesus’ compassion and his role as Savior, advocating forgiveness and redemption rather than condemnation.

    John 8.11 (King James Version) :
    She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
