The Scribes and Pharisees decided to use this
woman and situation to try and trap Jesus. They
were not concerned that Roman Law would pre-
vent them from killing her.
They didn't need to
drag her in front of
Jesus if they really
wanted His opinion.
Their piety and hypocrisy explained, "Now
Moses in the law commanded us, that such
should be stoned: but what sayest thou?"
John 8:5
