the return of the stonethrower page 3 by ric gustafson
The twelve men stared at the Rabbi for an answer but he was silent. Instead, he looked down at the ground and began to draw in the sand with one of his fingers.
The men stared at his strange behavior. All of a sudden, he looked up at them. " Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her". He then began to write in the sand again.
The men stared at each other. The oldest of the men dropped his stone and then walked away. One by one this happened until only Jalien, Ania and Zeula were the only three left. Then the three men dropped their large stones and walked away.
" Woman, where are they?" Jesus asked the young woman. " Has no one condemned you?".
" No one".
" Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more".
The End- dedicated to Tom E.
Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric
