The incident of the woman accused of adultery in John 8 happened on either the Eighth Day of #sukkot (the Feast of #tabernacles) or immediately after the feast. Is the timing significant? Probably.
Consider that this was a conflict over the correct application of the Law, that the entire Law is to be read to the people every seven years at Sukkot, and that there is a traditional event immediately following Sukkot called Simchat Torah (Joy of Torah).
Yeshua's admonitions to the accusers and to the woman were reminders that God's Law is not a burden, that it is supposed to lead us into greater freedom through alignment with God's purposes, not to be used as a weapon to shame and control people.
John 7:53-8:11
