Jesus the Just John 8:1-11 October 5, 2025

John 8:1-11 is a controversial passage  Some of our oldest copies of John's gospel don't have this story.  Others place it in Luke's gospel.  Should it be in the Bible?  Further, what Jesus does or doesn't do in the story is controversial. Did Jesus change the law on adultery?  Was He against capital punishment? Was Jesus a social justice warrior? Did He neglect justice in favor or mercy because of the woman's situation?  Let's examine the passage and learn from Jesus what true justice ought to look like.
