Overflowing Grace
[1894 Scrivener New Testament - vs 1-11 were not included in later texts]
Most of the commentaries on this event revolve around what Jesus may have written in the ground that caused her accusers to leave.
Perhaps He was writing their secret sins. To me, it seems likely that this woman was known to them and perhaps they had all had sex with her. How else would they have caught her in the very act of sleeping with a man?
It appears that they knew that Jesus was compassionate and they wanted Him to publicly refuse to stone the woman, being a clear violation of the law of Moses. The problem here is that these men appear to have orchestrated this entire scene. Where was the man? The law of Moses commanded that both be executed. The entire situation smells "fishy". The law was focused on a man who "slept" with a married woman. Strictly speaking, it did not apply to a man who slept with an unmarried woman.
I wonder if they found a man who would sleep with this woman so that they could bring the case to Jesus. It would not surprise me if they paid the man and promised that he would not be implicated. If this is true, then it is totally depraved. They intended to execute a woman for the sole purpose of possibly being able to accuse Jesus of being unfaithful to the law of Moses.
