of the woman caught in
adultery the key words being go and sin no more only two references in the bible and will explain later the lame man we see at first his dependency on everyone else for his needs he cant do it he is in the best position to receive Gods grace but what does he do with it.Does he follow Jesus no we are told he goes to the temple and Jesus finds him now that he has his strength to do things on his own what his response to follow the way
of the pharisees that is what is worse than his condition before so he is warned
by go and sin no more.We get confused because we see the word sin but the giver
