Bible study: Theology 37; John 8:1-11
- This chapter opens with Jesus going to the Mount of Olives before he begins his day's work. Why do you think he went there and what did he do?
- It seems that Jesus was a popular teacher, 'all the people came to him…' why were they so drawn to him?
- Perhaps Jesus' popularity was the reason the scribes and pharisees wanted to test him. How do you think they felt when they saw him in theTemple?
- Jesus turns from them and begins to write in the sand. Why? What did he write?
- Eventually, he responds to their questions and then resumes writing. What's he writing this time?
- 'When they heard it, they went away one by one…' What might the scribes and pharisees be thinking as they leave?
- Jesus tells the women that he does not condemn her – what does this mean for us and the way we think about others who make difficult choices that challenge us?
