Ellos decían esto para ponerle una trampa a Jesús, a fin de condenarlo. Pero Jesús se arrodilló y escribía en la tierra con su dedo.

¿Qué significa esto?

In this verse from John's Gospel, Jesus is faced with a difficult situation where some people are trying to trap him into saying something wrong about the law. Instead of answering them directly, he stoops down and writes on the ground as if he doesn't hear them.

Explicado para niños

Imagine you're playing hide-and-seek, and someone wants you to admit that you peeked. But instead of talking, you just draw pictures in the dirt pretending not to listen. That's what Jesus did here!
