Luke 8

Luke8:6But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear.
Luke8:7 So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up[g] and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.”
Luke8:8 And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.
Luke8:9 Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience,[h] went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

What a scenario... there are many very interesting points in this passage. The first one is: Jesus stooping down to write on the ground. What I am interested in: What did he actually write?? Just anything or something related to this topic/situation?? (Haha.. I know that these question are unneccessay... because there will not be an answer, as long as we are on earth)
But I think the main point is the effect his action has on this situation. While writing on the ground with his fingers, he acted as though he did not hear... and so they continued asking him.
And also after he has answered, he stooped down and wrote on the ground. What for?? Maybe to avoid an opportunity for them to accuse him. In writing on the ground he neither did anything wrong nor did he gave the Satan any room to attack him (Haha.. so if we don't want to be accused then we just have to stoop down and write on the ground... but again the question: What??---- what about the word of God??)
And at last, what I think is quite funny is that in the end everyone left- beginning from the oldest ones. So finnally all the people, who wanted to accuse Jesus left. They lost this battle. They couldnt respond anything to what Jesus said...
