from Rev. Aidan N. Donahue
This Sunday’s Gospel presents a poignant scene. Taken from the eighth chapter of John, this account appears nowhere else in the Gospels. It tells of Jesus’ encounter with a woman who was caught in the act of committing adultery, a very grave sin, a sin which, under the Law of Moses, called for death by stoning. In this account, scribes and Pharisees, those who often prided themselves on their strict observance of all that the Law of Moses demanded, bring this woman before Jesus, shaming her publicly, demeaning and depersonalizing her in the process, in order to try to score a point against Jesus. They wanted to trap him so that they could have a reason to bring charges against him, and ultimately, get rid of him.
