The Gospel narrates the story of the woman who was caught in adultery.
It is bit strange, because only the woman alone was caught.
Can she alone commit adultery and sin?
There was no justice in that condemnation.
Jesus knew that.
Normally Jesus is a good and active listener.
He never neglected some one.
But here he is not even raising his heads to address the crowd, the so called “self-declared-saints” – they were hypocrites for Jesus.
Jesus knows that this will be a big injustice and mistake if he supports such people.
His body language shows that, he was not interested in their judgements.
They are partial and more than that they want to kill the condemned. But Jesus came to give life and to save. How can he then be a part of such a judgement? Jesus’ action and judgement are perfectly all right and logical.
