Who’s guilty?
Jesus once set a guilty woman free from her accusers by showing that the people who were judging her were just as guilty of sin
as she was. “All right, stone her,” he said to the religious leaders who were ready with stones in hand to deliver the judgment she
indeed deserved. “But let those who have never sinned throw the first stones!”
