He and a neighbour were hauling the former's wife along, the same woman who had been so indignant against the adulteress shortly before.

It was suggested that she should be brought to the prophet, but her husband said: "He is a bad judge in such matters," and wished to take her down to the lake.
But the people crowded round Jesus, and told Him what had happened.
The woman had been caught with Joel, the porter.

The accused struck out round her, violently denied the charge, and bit her husband, who had hold of her, in the hand.

Others came up and confirmed the accusation.

The woman blasphemed, and reduced her husband to silence by proclaiming his crimes.
Jesus burned with anger.
