They came to trap Jesus—with rocks in hand and self-righteousness on full display. But when He stooped and spoke, no one expected what happened next. One by one, they left. No rebuttal. No resistance. Just silence and retreat.

What do you think convicted them?
Have you ever had a moment where truth silenced your pride?
