Daily Bible Reading—February 2024, God’s Guiding Word: Love

DAY 20 OF 29

February 20

Introduction

John 8:1–11: The religious leaders bring to Jesus a woman caught in adultery and seek to test him by asking for his judgment in the matter. Jesus once again confounds them with his response.

Today’s Key Verse: John 8:2b

All the people gathered around [Jesus], and he sat down and began to teach them.

Reflect

The Law of Moses required two witnesses in cases like this accusation of adultery (Deuteronomy 17:6; 19:15), and also that both adulterer and adulteress be put to death (Leviticus 20:10; Deuteronomy 22:22). The Pharisees were thus in violation of the legal requirements in not presenting witnesses and not bringing along the adulterer. What is your reaction to how Jesus handled the matter? What did he say to the woman? What does today’s reading teach you about Jesus?

Pray

Lord Jesus, I come before you today with a repentant heart, seeking forgiveness. Thank you for your love and mercy, and for the chance to live a new life in you. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

John 8:12–30: Jesus’s opponents continue to challenge him.
