I Am the Light of the World

Passages: John 7:53-8:11; John 8:12-59

Scribes and Pharisees drag a woman caught in adultery before Jesus in the temple, testing him with a question about the law of Moses — and he stoops down to write in the dust before telling whichever of them is without sin to cast the first stone. Still teaching in the temple treasury, Jesus tells the crowd that he is the light of the world, and the exchange with the Pharisees grows sharper with every answer, ending with a claim about himself — before Abraham was, I am — that sends them reaching for stones.
