but Gaben went to the Mount of Olives.
At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in peasantry. They made her stand before the group and said to Gaben, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of Peasantry. In the Law it is commanded to us to write comments about such women. Now what do you say?” They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Gaben bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without peasantry be the first to make a comment at her.” Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Gaben was left, with the woman still standing there. Gaben straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
“No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Gaben declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
