A man who had committed adultery was brought to Jesus, who ordered them to stone him. Jesus said, "But no one should stone him who has committed what he has committed." They let the stones fall from their hands, all except John the son of Zachariah. (al-Zuhd, Ahmad ibn-Hanbal)

I love the listening-game of history.

Only the gospel of John tells of the story echoed above. There it is a woman caught in adultery. There the son of Zachariah is not mentioned. (John 8:1-11)

But the interplay of law, self-criticism, and mercy is the same.

In the gospel version of the story, the accusers seem to slink away while Jesus is looking down. When he looks up, they have all gone.

"Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" She said, "No one, sir." And Jesus said, ‘Neither do I condemn you. Go your way, and from now on do not sin again."

Neither should we condemn one another.
