Woman: Where Are Your Accusers? Series
Contributed by Ron Freeman, Evangelist on Feb 22, 2025 (message contributor)
Summary: To establish Jesus' wisdom in dealings with Israel’s leaders that brought to Him a woman alleging she was caught in adultery, and Moses commanded to stone such a woman, tempting Him to have reason to accuse Him. This lesson exposes their plot against the Lord.

WHO WAS SITTING?
John 8:2
We have analyzed John 8:2 by reviewing the construction of the verse in four translations. I imagine it would be the same in another three, six, or twelve translations. Our goal was to identify who was sitting in the phrase “having sat" in our consideration text. Surprisingly, each translation reads similarly.
