Scene covers from John 8:1-11

lyrics

Pharisee Chorus: What do you say, what do you say?

P1: Sinner, lawbreaker, stand here before the people. She was caught in the act of adultery. On the night of the holy feast.

Now teacher. Galilean preacher. Moses commanded to stone such women, but we want to hear from you.

What do you say, what do you say?

(Jesus bends down and begins to write on the ground.)

P Chorus: Why are you quiet teacher? We really want to know. Here stands a woman caught in the act. Will you let her go.
Will you ignore her? Will you ignore us? What about Moses? (x2)

(the teachers of the law and the Pharisees start to move among the people, encouraging them to pick up stones and even putting them in their hands.)

P Chorus: Pick up your stones / Be ready to throw / Purge this evil / From our people /

(Jesus stands up. All are quiet.)

Jesus: If anyone you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone.

(Jesus bends down and starts writing on the ground again)

(All the people are quiet again. The older men of the crowd begin to leave, then the younger ones. The teachers of the law and the Pharisees look around in disappointment and shock.)
Caiaphas: How can you say that, Teacher?

Pharisees All: Here stands a woman caught in the act, will you let her go? Will you ignore her? Will you ignore us? What about Moses? What about Moses? What about Moses?

(The teachers of the law and the Pharisees notice that all the other people are gone. Then in the same way they begin to leave, the older ones then the younger ones till only Jesus and the woman are left standing there.)

«break»

Jesus: Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?

Woman: (pauses, looks around) No one, sir.

Jesus: Then neither do I condemn you. Go now and leave your life of sin.
