John 8.1-11

This gospel is about the woman caught in the act of adultery.
When the scribes and Pharisees confronted Jesus, he acted
as a scribe and twice scribbled on the ground.

 The first time maybe he wrote something like this:

The scribes and Pharisees were too dumb or too proud  to realize
the writing was on the wall, so to speak. They again pressed
Jesus for a reply to their question. So Jesus did a bit more scribbling.
Maybe he added a column like this:

The scribes and Pharisees then started leaving one by one.
Maybe as each name appeared, that person left.
Surely one name with details should have made the whole group
take off.  But they left "one by one" ....maybe only when
their name hit the dirt.  Until only one scribe remained - Jesus.

Dear Jesus, "If you should mark our guilt, who would survive?
But with you is found forgiveness. For this we revere you." (Psalm 130)
