Hi friends,
You have probably heard this joke before, but I still think it’s funny every time.
The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery before Jesus and challenged him, saying, “In the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What say you?” Jesus replied, “Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” At that, a woman in the crowd threw a stone at the adulteress. Jesus turned around and yelled, “Mother!”
It’s the month of Mary so we have a few questions in this quiz about her this time around.
