Are you sure of that?
Was that woman actually caught in the act of adultery, or was it a divorced woman who had remarried and had not committed adultery according to the temporal laws of the land, but only committing adultery according to the new teaching of Jesus?
Were the Jewish authorities trying to trap Jesus according to his teaching on divorcees remarrying? It would appear so, for we read in John 8: 3-6; "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" They said this to trap Jesus, so they could accuse him.
Surely, if that woman had been caught in the very act of adultery with a man other than her legitimate husband, those Jewish authorities would have been bound by the law of Moses to have her stoned to death. And surely her husband would have demanded she be punished for her unfaithfulness?
Amongst the women who followed Jesus, do you know of one who had been divorced and had remarried?
Great post!
Jesus trapped them in their web--if she did commit adultery, they would have had to have watched it, without responding, perhaps even lusting. Boom dog!
Does the bible identify the woman who was supposed to have been caught in Adultery.
No... any supposition would merely be a personal opinion. One could be right but, then again, one could be wrong.Does the bible identify the woman who was supposed to have been caught in Adultery.

The message is that Jesus had the right to throw the stone and didn't... so, in a sense, I am, you are, or anyone can be that woman.
I disagree... They were trying to trap Jesus and, as they said "this woman was caught in the act" - and then repeated what Moses said.The message is, that according to the law of Moses the woman was innocent of any crime, if she were indeed caught having sex with a man who was not her legitimate husband according to the law of Moses, the Jewish authorities would have been bound by the law of Moses to have her stoned to death, irrelevant as to what Jesus had to say.
They were not slow in stoning Stephen, who taught contrary their scriptures, to death.

The woman is anonymous as has been pointed out by others here. She is not Mary Magdalene or any other identifiable female in the gospels. The story of the Woman Taken In Adultery is a late editorial addition in John's gospel. Early editions of the gospel don't contain the story
No, she was not Mary Magdalene, she was Mary the wife of Cleophas/Alpheaus, her second husband, who was the father of James the younger, the brother of Jesus.

You can disagree all you want too, as that is your god given right. But the fact remains, that she was only caught in the act of adultery according to the new teaching of Jesus, and that is, that she was a divorced woman who had remarried while her original husband was still alive.
As I have said before, if she was caught in the very act of having sex with a man other than her lawful husband, the Jewish authorities would have been bound by the law of Moses to have her stoned to death.

Not so fast, when the woman was brought to Christ Jesus to ask of him, whether the woman should be stoned for her adultery.
Jesus knew the law of Moses, that in the law as stated in the book of Leviticus 20:10---"And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death"
Therefore without the man, there is no case of Adultery.
That they couldn't stone the woman without man there also.

Believe as you will. But now you know that Mary the mother of Jesus conceived James the brother of Jesus to Alpheaus-Cleophas, when Jesus was a young lad, and for some reason unknown to YOU, she abandoned, her second husband and her children, to live in the house of John the beloved disciple, who was surnamed "MARK the Hammerer," and that the grave sites of Mary and John can still be visited in the town of Ephesus.
Well seeing you haven't a clue or idea, that are two Mary's being spoken of.
Buy the question is, Who's, who, That's the question can you answer.
Let's see if you can figure out Who', who
