[John 8:1-11](New International Version) 1 Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to

If they do that, God will bless these leaders and their people. This idea is repeated in the next chapter. Jeremiah 22:

As you know, there are many Marys in the Bible. For example, Mary, the mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus, and much more. But I am gonna talk about…. Guess who? Which Mary? Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus. Mary, Martha, and Lazarus lived in Bethany. Bethany was a small town. It was about two miles from Jerusalem. The Bible tells us that they had their own house. And they lived together in that house as
