It was a communal method of execution, where the community participated in carrying out the sentence, symbolizing collective responsibility for upholding the law and purging evil from among the people.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, stoning is prescribed as a punishment for various offenses, particularly those considered to be severe violations of God's commandments. The Law of Moses outlines specific crimes that warranted stoning, including:<br><br>1. <b>Idolatry</b>: Worshiping other gods was a grave sin, as it violated the first commandment. <a href="/deuteronomy/17-2.htm">Deuteronomy 17:2-5</a> states, "If a man or woman among you in one of your towns that the LORD your God will give you is found doing evil in the sight of the LORD your God and transgressing His covenant by going to worship other gods and bowing down to them or to the sun or moon or any of the host of heaven—which I have forbidden—and if it is reported to you and you hear about it, you must investigate it thoroughly. If it is true and confirmed that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, you must bring out to your gates that man or woman who has done this evil thing, and stone that person to death."<br><br>2. <b>Blasphemy</b>: Speaking against the name of the LORD was considered a capital offense. <a href="/leviticus/24-16.htm">Leviticus 24:16</a> states, "Whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD must surely be put to death. The whole congregation must stone him. Whether he is a foreigner or a native, if he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death."<br><br>3. <b>Adultery</b>: Both parties involved in adultery were subject to stoning. <a href="/deuteronomy/22-22.htm">Deuteronomy 22:22-24</a> prescribes, "If a man is found lying with another man's wife, both the man who lay with the woman and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel. If there is a virgin pledged in marriage to a man, and another man encounters her in the city and sleeps with her, you must take both of them out to the gate of that city and stone them to death."<br><br>4. <b>Rebellion and Disobedience</b>: A stubborn and rebellious son who would not heed his parents' discipline could be stoned. <a href="/deuteronomy/21-18.htm">Deuteronomy 21:18-21</a> describes, "If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and does not listen to them when disciplined, his father and mother are to take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his city. They will say to the elders, 'This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he does not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.' Then all the men of his city will stone him to death. So you must purge the evil from among you, and all Israel will hear and be afraid."<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, stoning is mentioned in the context of Jewish law and practice during the time of Jesus and the early church. The most notable instance is the stoning of Stephen, the first Christian martyr, as recorded in <a href="/acts/7-58.htm">Acts 7:58-60</a>: "They dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul. While they were stoning him, Stephen appealed, 'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.' Falling on his knees, he cried out in a loud voice, 'Lord, do not hold this sin against them.' And after he had said this, he fell asleep."<br><br>Jesus Himself addressed the issue of stoning in the account of the woman caught in adultery. In <a href="/john/8-3.htm">John 8:3-11</a>, the scribes and Pharisees brought a woman to Jesus, citing the Law of Moses that commanded her to be stoned. Jesus responded, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her" (<a href="/john/8-7.htm">John 8:7</a>). This incident highlights the themes of mercy and forgiveness, contrasting the strict application of the law with the grace offered through Christ.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>Stoning in the biblical context underscores the seriousness with which God views sin and the importance of holiness among His people. It reflects the communal nature of the covenant community in Israel, where the entire community was responsible for maintaining the purity and obedience to God's laws. The New Testament, while acknowledging the law, emphasizes the transformative power of grace and forgiveness through Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the law and offered a new covenant based on love and redemption.<a name="top" id="top"></a><div class="vheading2">Topical Bible Verses</div><span class="rtext"><a href="/2_corinthians/11-25.htm">2 Corinthians 11:25</a></span><br>Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/acts/7-59.htm">Acts 7:59</a></span><br>And they stoned Stephen, calling on God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/acts/14-19.htm">Acts 14:19</a></span><br>And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/joshua/7-25.htm">Joshua 7:25</a></span><br>And Joshua said, Why have you troubled us? the LORD shall trouble you this day.
