The stones.

 

Luke 19:36-40     
"As he advanced, they spread their outer garments along the road.
As soon as he approached the road leading down from the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice regarding all the mighty works they had seen and saying: "Blessed is He who comes as King in the name of Jehovah", "Peace in heaven and glory in the highest places."
However, some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."
But in response he said: "I tell you: if these remained silent, the stones would cry out."


John 8: 1-11
"At daybreak he appeared in the Temple again and as all the people came to him he sat down and began to teach them.
The scribes and Pharisees brought a woman along who had been caught committing adultery and making her stand there in the middle, they said to Jesus, "Master, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery and in the Law Moses has ordered us to stone women of this kind. What have you got to say?"
They asked him this as a test, looking for an accusation to use against him. But Jesus bent down and started writing on the ground with his finger.
As they persisted with their question, he straightened up and said, "Let the one among you who is guiltless be the first to throw a stone to her".
Then he bent down and continue writing on the ground. When they heard this they went away one by one, beginning with the eldest until the last one had gone and Jesus was left alone with the woman, who remained in the middle.
Jesus again straightened up and said, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned  you?"
"No one sir" she replied.
"Neither do I condemn you" said Jesus.
"Go away and from this moment sin no more"


Matthew 3:7-9
"When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to the baptism, he said to them: "You brood of vipers, who has told you to flee from the wrath to come?"
So produce the fruit of repentance and do not dare to say within yourself: "We have Abraham as our father." For I tell you that from these stones God can raise children to Abraham."
