1. What it says
When the woman caught in adultery is brought to him, what does Jesus say to her accusers, and what does he say to her at the end? (vv. 3-11)
2. What it means
Jesus says, “I am the light of the world” and “the truth will set you free.” What link is there between remaining in his word and freedom? (vv. 12, 31-36)
3. How I live it
The accusers left one by one when Jesus spoke about sin (v. 9). When is it your turn to look at yourself before pointing at others?
