162:3.2 What really happened was this: Early the third morning of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukkot the feast], as [[Jesus]] approached [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Temple the temple], he was met by a [[group]] of the hired [[agents]] of the [[Sanhedrin]] who were dragging a [[woman]] along with them. As they came near, the [[spokesman]] said: Master, this [[woman]] was taken in [[adultery]]—in the very [[act]]. Now, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosaic_Law the law of Moses] commands that we should [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoning#In_Judaism stone] such a [[woman]]. What do you say should be done with her? [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_john#Chapter_8]

162:3.3 It was the [[plan]] of [[Jesus]]' [[enemies]], if he upheld the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torah law of Moses] requiring that the [[self]]-[[confess]]ed [[transgressor]] be [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoning#In_Judaism stoned], to involve him in [[difficulty]] with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Republic Roman rulers], who had denied the [[Jews]] the [[right]] to inflict the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_and_capital_punishment#Judaism death penalty] without the approval of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_republic#Executive_Magistrates Roman tribunal]. If he [[forbade]] stoning the woman, they would [[accuse]] him before the [[Sanhedrin]] of setting himself up above [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_law Jewish law]. If he remained [[silent]], they would accuse him of [[cowardice]]. But [[the Master]] so managed the situation that the whole [[plot]] fell to pieces of its own sordid weight.

162:3.4 This [[woman]], once [[comely]], was the [[wife]] of an inferior [[citizen]] of [[Nazareth]], a man who had been a troublemaker for [[Jesus]] throughout his [[youth]]ful days. The [[man]], having [[married]] this woman, did most [[shame]]fully force her to earn their living by [[Prostitution|making commerce]] of her [[body]]. He had come up to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukkot the feast] at [[Jerusalem]] that his [[wife]] might thus [[prostitute]] her [[physical]] charms for [[Profit|financial gain]]. He had entered into a bargain with the hirelings of the [[Sanhedrin|Jewish rulers]] thus to betray his own [[wife]] in her commercialized [[vice]]. And so they came with the [[woman]] and her [[companion]] in [[transgression]] for the [[purpose]] of ensnaring [[Jesus]] into making some [[statement]] which could be used against him in case of his [[arrest]].
