Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with His finger...

John 10

v1 Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives, 2 but early the next morning he was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them. 3 As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd.
4 “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?”
6 They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. 7 They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!”

8 Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust.
9 When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. 10 Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?”
11 “No, Lord,” she said.
And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”

I wonder was this woman caught in adultery, caught naked?

I wonder did the Pharisees drag her to Jesus as they found her?

Naked?

I wonder how this lady would have felt having crowds look at her?

Naked?

Shameful?

Condemned?

I wonder did Jesus stoop down and begin writing in the dust to free Himself from the tyrannical glare of the Pharisees?

To hide from a question He was hesitant to answer?

Admitting defeat to their tactical, scheming questionning?

Or, I wonder did Jesus stoop down and begin to write so as to take the attention away from this woman?

So as not to stare at her nakedness?

So that His eyes didn't penetrate shame deeper into her soul?

So that condemnation didn't gash open her heart?

I wonder why Jesus stooped down and began writing in the dust with His finger at that moment?

I wonder what He wrote?

Lady Gomar, Jesus is stooping down, writing in the dust with His finger. Go and sin no more...
