Picture this: you're out in public watching as a bunch of important men carrying a young woman. She's not well, possibly not even breathing. They place her awkwardly at the feet of this guy called Jesus. As you listen in, you realise they're not asking him to heal her. They're asking him to give them the green light to publicly humiliate her and then to execute her for her sin.
You close your eyes and walk away, not wanting to see the scene unfold any further. A few minutes go by, and by then you can't resist--you turn around and see her still there at his feet. The men who brought her have gone. It's just Jesus left standing there. He reaches out and grabs for her hand.
