They wondered what Jesus was writing on the
ground and looked to see. But we are not told

writing some of their sins to let them know that
He was aware of their lives?

The first to leave was the eldest, was his the

order as Jesus continued to write. It would be
interesting to know for sure. They all left in a
quiet hurry.

For them to condemn the woman would have
brought their sins crashing down upon their own
heads.
