The reason I ask is because if they did then they would have bought the man himself.
If they didn't then they could not bring the woman because they were not witness to the adultery and were acting on hearsay and were bearing false witness.
brother where in the law does it say to spare an adulteress if the man isn’t present ? Consider that event they are discussing and then this one Jesus spares her also which Moses law does not
“And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, and stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner. And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on. There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.”
Luke 7:37-50
sinners who know they were guilty like the adulteress and they are facing a death sentence by the law , if you spare this person they are going to dedicate thier lives to th one who saved them like the sinful woman in the other example.
Jesus is the savior he came for the purpose of
saving sinners from the demand of the law upon their lives is why he spared all the sinners he came across whether the adulteress or all the others everyone he met was a sinner d he forgave them where the law accused and held them guilty
We are all the adulteress were all caught in sin
“for
all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
Romans 3:23 KJV
she was spared because she met the savior
“being
justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: whom
God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the
forbearance of God; to
declare, I say, at this time
his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.”
Romans 3:24-26 KJV
He forgave her d first he reminded all the self righteous trying to stone her that they were all sinners also s had no place stoning this other sinner we’ve all become the adulteress at some point in our lives and like her the only thing that can save us now is to meet Jesus in truths have the savior arrive on the scene
we’re all caught in the act , and we all need that same experience to meet Jesus and hear his word that saved her from the breaking of the law of sin and death
it has no matter whether the man was there if you look Jesus forgave sinners constantly regardless of others bekng around or not
sin is imputes to both adulterers and adulteresses each had the same sentence but it doesn’t matter if one runs away and escapes the other is still under the death sentance of Moses law
it’s a New Testament where he’s not imputing our sins against us
“This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, saith the Lord, I will put
my laws into
their hearts, And in their minds will I write them;
And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.”
Hebrews 10:16-17
that’s not this covenant
“Now we know that
what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”
Romans 3:19-20 KJV
That covenant is why she was about to be executed she was held guilty by it d Jesus is speaking the new covenant not holding her sins against her but he’s also telling her “ now go and repent don’t keep sinning “
he’s saving her from the law of Moses and imparting
his word into her heart and because he saved her life it’s going to reach her heart
