The '''woman caught in adultery''' (John 8:1-11) was brought before [[Jesus]], in a famous one of the very few apocryphal stories in the [[New Testament]] story.
Bible commentator Ken Collins suggests:
<blockquote>
The trap is this: under the [[Roman]] occupation, the power of capital punishment was reserved by the Romans for themselves. All capital cases had to be referred to the Roman authorities and the sentence had to be approved before it could be carried out. So Jesus' enemies figured they could trap Him in a dilemma by presenting Him with a clear-cut case where the Jewish Law demanded the death penalty by public stoning. If Jesus deferred to the Romans, He discredited Himself as a Teacher of the Law. If He condoned the stoning, the Romans would consider Him an insurrectionist and put Him to death. Either way, they thought, He couldn't win. He would either lose His credibility or His life; either way, He would be silenced. <ref>http://www.kencollins.com/disc-07.htm</ref>

== Historicity ==
Historians and scholars agree that the story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery (John 8:1-11) is not authentic and was added decades later to the [[Gospel of John ]] by scribes. The only plausible defense that this could actually have happened, is story was almost certainly added for the fact that it may have been apart purpose of Democrat ideology: if no one who has sinned should cast the oral tradition of the Life of Jesusfirst stone, prior to then the writing of the Gospelsmessage is that no one should punish or even criticize sinners. You can It is also tell clear from the writing style that the this story was added in later by it's style of writing. <supref>1Page 63-65, ''Misquoting Jesus'' (2005) by Bart D. Ehrman</supref>
