1. Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2. And early in the morning (He) came again into the temple, and all the people came unto
Him; and (He) sat down, and taught them.
3. And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto Him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4. They say unto Him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6. This they said, tempting Him, that they might have to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7. So when they continued asking him, (He) lifted up himself, and said unto them, he that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8. And again (He) stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10. 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?
11. She said, No man, LORD. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
What did it mean when Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger?
The first time (He) stooped down in John 8:6,
This they said, tempting Him, that they might have to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as
though (He) heard them not.
The first time HE stooped down represents the following verse.
Exodus 31:18
And (He) gave unto Moses, when (He) had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

Revelation of what did Jesus write in the ground in
John 8:6, and
John 8:8.
The act of stooping down the first time, in John 8:6 leads us back to the time when He wrote his commandments. Exodus 20:12-17,
112 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
When He stooped down in John 8:8 leads us back to the time, when He wrote His
commandments for the second time, or according to the first time.
Deuteronomy 5:17-18
117 Thou shalt not kill.
18 Neither shalt thou not commit adultery.
So what is the spirit asking us? To remember his commandments and obey them, you shall not kill, thou shall commit adultery.
The writing on the ground.
The writing on the ground with his finger from John 8:6 and 8:8 leads back to,
Exodus 31:18 and
Deuteronomy 9:10And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
Now from John 8:10, from verse 10, Jesus said, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
Remember everyone falls short of the glory of God.

Ezra 1:3
Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the (LORD God of Israel, (He IS the God)), which is in Jerusalem.
1 King 18:39
And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, He is the God; the LORD, He is the God.
Jesus tells us that He IS LORD.
He was telling the scribes and Pharisees that He was the same spirit (God) of the Old Testament/Torah,
Remember
Hebrews 13:8, and
Luke 2:21.
Glory to Our LORD Jesus Christ.
