行淫被捉现形的妇女 — 约翰福音读经随笔 第8章

约翰福音第八章第3—11节，一个被捉奸在床的妇女被带到耶稣面前，文士和法利赛人想试探耶稣如何处理这个案子，他们好抓住耶稣的把柄害他。于是就对耶稣说，按摩西律法这个妇人应该用石头打死，你说该怎么处理呢？耶稣知道这些人的阴谋，在他们不断追问的情况下就对他们说：“你们中间谁是没有罪的 ，谁就可以先拿石头打她”。他们听见这话，就从老到少一个一个的都出去了，没人定这个妇人的罪。然后耶稣就对这个妇人说“我也不定你的罪，去吧，从此不要再犯罪了”。这个案例告诉我们一个道理，就是只有当每个人认识到自己也是罪人的时候，就不会去定犯罪之人的罪了，并且对自己的罪人身份认识越深刻，就越不会定人的罪，即越容易饶恕人。相反，觉得自己是对的而不是罪的的时候，就会理直气壮地定别人的罪。耶稣是神，是圣洁的，最有资格定人的罪，可他仍然选择了赦免这个妇人的罪，并且亲身死在十字架上替罪人受了惩罚，可见，神的爱是多么的长阔高深！信靠耶稣，罪得赦免，活在耶稣的爱里，也赦免别人的过错，从而结出仁爱，喜乐，和平，忍耐，恩慈，良善，信实，温柔，节制的果子，做耶稣的好门徒！

约8:3 文士和法利赛人、带着一个行淫时被拿的妇人来、叫他站在当中。
The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the midst,
约8:4 就对耶稣说、夫子、这妇人是正行淫之时被拿的。
they told him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
约8:5 摩西在律法上所吩咐我们、把这样的妇人用石头打死．你说该把他怎么样呢。
Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such. What then do you say about her?"
约8:6 他们说这话、乃试探耶稣、要得着告他的把柄。耶稣却弯着腰用指头在地上画字。
They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
约8:7 他们还是不住的问他、耶稣就直起腰来、对他们说、你们中间谁是没有罪的、谁就可以先拿石头打他．
But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her."
约8:8 于是又弯着腰用指头在地上画字。
Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
约8:9 他们听见这话、就从老到少一个一个的都出去了．只剩下耶稣一人、还有那妇人仍然站在当中。
They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
约8:10 耶稣就直起腰来、对他说、妇人、那些人在哪里呢．没有人定你的罪么。
Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, "Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?"
约8:11 他说、主阿、没有。耶稣说、我也不定你的罪．去吧．从此不要再犯罪了。
She said, "No one, Lord." Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more."
