What did Jesus write on the ground when the woman caught in adultery was brought to Him?
The biblical account in the supplied context does not disclose the exact words Jesus wrote on the ground. He stooped down and wrote in the sand, and the religious leaders evidently saw it, but the text leaves the content unrecorded, so no specific message can be claimed.
Les teaches that Jesus again stooped down and wrote on the ground, and Les says he has often wondered what Jesus wrote. He admits he has never been able to read from anybody what it was and invites anyone who knows to tell him at break time. Les is sure Jesus was not merely doodling; he was putting something in the sand that the religious leaders of Israel saw. After that, the accusers, convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest until the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman. He asked her where her accusers were and whether any man had condemned her. She answered, “No man, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn thee, go,” but the key was “Sin no more.” Les explains this does not give license to adultery; rather, it shows God is willing and ready to forgive, but with forgiveness He expects a growth in spirituality, as illustrated later by King David after his adulterous situation with Bathsheba.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
