John page 14 by ric gustafson
" Polycarp, I want to tell you another story".
The young man picked up his pen. " I'm ready".
" One day, Jesus was teaching to us in the temple". John's tired voice hesitated. " The Pharisees brought in a woman".
Polycarp scratched his chin. " For what reason?".
" She was caught in the very act of adultery".
Polycarp thought for a moment. " According to Moses, she could be stoned for that".
" Yes".
" What did Jesus do?".
" He said whoever among you without sin cast the first stone".
" Then what happened?".
" All of them dropped their stones and left".
" That's incredible".
" Then Jesus told her that he did not condemn her". John grinned. " Then he told her to go and sin no more".
