 “When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go and sin no more.”—ST. John viii. 10, 11. IT is a singular fact, that the authenticity of this passage, the inspiration of it, has been frequently denied. I believe it is not at the present time received among the Greek Churches, although it was usually adopted among the Latin Churches. Calvin doubted its inspiration, Beza, and many of the most eminent commentators. To us, however, it seems to bear upon its very forehead a Christ-likeness. We have often thought, when men have said that the four Evangelists were not true, and did not record facts, that it would be an excellent thing for them to try and write a fifth Evangel, which would be of the same tendency, and which might be bound up with the other four. They would certainly find themselves non-plussed. They might seek all the talent in the world, and gather together all the events that have ever occurred, to make a story; but they could not make a fifth that could be received by any critic as belonging to the same list as the four we have here. It seems to me that just the same remark may be made on this passage. We defy a man to invent a passage so Christ-like as this. It must be true; it cannot be otherwise than a narration of what did occur; for if it be not so, we can only say it is the most extraordinary thing we have ever seen in the shape of forgery. Yes; we never found a passage more like what we should suppose the genuine feelings of Christ would be, than this one. The fact is, the doubts which have arisen about this, spring from the littleness of the Church's faith in the grace and love of Christ. In those times—in Calvin's day, for instance—the particular sin here mentioned was still, I believe, punishable with burning to the death. Calvin made a very strong opposition against the Papists, and against the Anabaptists, who thought such a punishment to be more severe than ought to be carried out by any human being who was not, like God himself, able to judge with regard to the heinousness of the sin, and that they had no right to inflict a punishment so severe. The Church seemed to be intent upon thrusting out the sinners from her bosom—not desirous to receive them to her heart. Her policy seemed to be that of keeping them at a distance—building a lazar house for them, putting them away like lepers, bidding them go cool their fevered brow in any muddy pool that they could find, but Jordan's waters were too pure for them; telling them to stand back, for they did bear infection in their bodies, and it was not to be tolerated that they should be allowed to mingle with the sound and healthy. Ay, but this was never the policy of our Lord; this was never the maxim of Jesus. Jesus built Zion just as Romulus and Remus builded old Rome. In order to get a population they invited all the thieves, and deserters, and outcasts, and vagabonds to come and fill their city; and so doth Jesus; when he would fill Zion, he invites every man that is in debt and discontented to come to him, and he will be a captain over him, will renew his nature, will change his heart, and make him a citizen of His own holy and heavenly kingdom.
