"Jesus was a Rabbi. Rabbis were charged by the religious authority with judging and sentencing crimes."I don't believe there was an historical Jesus (of the Gospel) but you are absolutely correct in the biblical context. "He did not violate Roman law since the sentence was not carried out, he did not violate Jewish law since he recognized her conduct as sin and provided a seemingly fair contingency for her punishment." When we are talking about savage ritual tribal laws we need to analyze behavior in accordance with the primitive savage mindset (there really is no other way if we are seriously pretending to address the "right" or the "wrong" of such actions in such context). As a Rabbi enjoined to obey the law of God (through Moses) NOT THE LAW OF MAN, Jesus sidestepped and evaded the LAW and his personal MORAL OBLIGATION. It may well have been wise (as you say) but it was a SIN and a CRIME just the same...(and it was a more serious and contemptible crime than the SIN and the CRIME of the woman seeking love). "He did not violate Roman law since the sentence was not carried out, he did not violate Jewish law since he recognized her conduct as sin and provided a seemingly fair contingency for her punishment." Religious commentary and Hermeneutics have usually interpreted this passage from the New Testament slant of not only FORGIVING the woman (a Godly prerogative) but PROTECTING her from a LAW HE was superseding. Jesus broke the Law of Moses many times. I consider him a criminal from that perspective. And if He had pleaded with Abraham to warn Mary, Joseph, the adulteress, etc. then Abraham would have said..."To Hell with you"--just as he did to the rich man who pleaded to warn the ignorant. The rich man was the only person in the passage showing compassion. He asked nothing for himself but pleaded that some caring should be given to the misinformed and the ignorant. NOT A SINGLE WORD FOR PERSONAL HELP. How much greater such a man than sinners and sickos such as "King" David, Noah, Lot, Solomon, etc.
