Jesus had spent the night alone in Mt. Olive praying.<br \/>\n2. Early in the morning he came to the Temple and taught.<br \/>\n3. The Pharisees had been busying digging up dirt.<br \/>\n4. They broke in upon his teaching with a problem they thought he could not solve.<br \/>\n5. A woman taken in Adultery.<br \/>\n6. The Law of Moses &#8211; Death by stoning.<\/p>\n<p><strong> II: The Self-righteous Pharisees. Look at Sin.<\/strong><br \/>\n1. Not her sin but their hatred of Jesus prompted this scene.<br \/>\n2.

They would not be ignored, but insisted on digging a pit for themselves.<br \/>\n5. &#8220;He that is without sin, let him 1st cast a stone at her.&#8221; The one who witnessed was to carry out the punishment.<br \/>\n6. &#8220;No hiding place down here.&#8221; Jesus pinned this very sin at their door also; they just had escaped discovery!<br \/>\n7. Even their sin of disposition disqualified them. Those guilty of bad disposition seldom repent.<br \/>\n8. One by one they disappeared.<br \/>\n9. They saw the mote in their own eye.
