A woman is dragged before Jesus, caught in adultery, and used as bait in a legal trap designed to destroy him no matter how he answers. In this episode, we dig into why this passage is bracketed in most Bibles, what the religious leaders were really after, how adultery was actually handled under Jewish law in Jesus's day, and the strange discontinued ritual from Numbers 5 that this scene echoes. We land on the moment that defines the whole story: "Neither do I condemn you — go, and sin no more." Grace and truth, held together, right before John's Gospel turns toward the upper room.

Of course we have a great joke and some trivia for you and updates on the podcast future!
