    John chapter 8
    This of course is about the woman caught in adultery.

    What do you think Jesus wrote in the Sand?
    Why do you think that Scripture does not tell us what Jesus wrote?

    I don't think Jesus wrote anything, he was checking out their hearts, while ignoring them... He knew they were all guilty... He finally answered... It wasn't the answer they were expecting

    John 8: 7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

    Then he stooped down and went back to writing on the ground...

    9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

    And you know the rest of the story... Brother Glen:)

    The Bible doesn't say. BUT he could have been writing down the laws they were breaking in trying to get Him to break the law.
    • "The witnesses will be the first ones to cast stones." Deut. 17:7
    • "Bring the man who commits adultery and the woman." Lev. 20:10
