the return of the stonethrower page 3 by ric Gustafson
The twelve men stared at the Rabbi for an answer.
Jesus was silent. He began to draw in the sand with one of his fingers.
The men stared at his strange behavior.
All of a sudden, he looked 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 left. They looked at each other and then dropped their stones. They quickly walked away.
Jesus looked around. " Woman, where are they?". He stared at the young woman. " Has no one condemned you?".
" No one".
" Neither do I condemn you". His voice hesitated. " Go and sin no more".
The End
