Did Jesus ever confront someone about their sin?

[Not of the World]

I know that Jesus called out the Pharisees, but did he call out anyone else?

Jesus said, “go, and sin no more”. To the woman accused of adultery after her accusers moved on.

He also, told Peter he would deny Him.

Two off the top of my head.

Wasn't she confronted by others who were intent on stoning her?  I don't believe that Jesus "confronted" her.

Yes, that is true. What I was responding to was Jesus confronting the reality of sin in an individual.

I am sorry for the confusion.

No worries.

I don't recall any accounts in the Bible of Jesus going up to or "confronting" someone and telling them that what they were doing was a sin.  

Of course, we're also commanded to lovingly tell our brother (or sister) when they are engaged in conduct displeasing to God.

Technically, this may be true. I have to think about it more, however, Christ’s mission and purpose was a repudiation of the sin of all. In fact, He raised the bar considerably when moving sin from action alone to include the heart and mind. “All have sinned……”.

The Samaritan woman at the well who had been married five times and was merely shacked up with the 6th man.  Jesus called her out on that.  

His calling her out was what made her believe in him and run to tell the town about him.  He wasn't rude - he was drawing her to him.

Well done, Jayne. Thank you.

I got hyper-focused on work and didn't take time to access my memory files.

I don't believe that Jesus' encounter with the woman at the well meets the definition of "confronting" someone about their sins.  It came up in the course of converations, but Jesus didn't "confront" her about her "sin".  

Again, I don't recall Jesus every "confronting" anyone about their sin aside from the Pharisees.  With that in mind, I presume that Jesus would disagree with the approach of some Christians who confront and call out others for their sins, something of which I myself have been guilty of doing.

What is it that you are driving at? Or Where are you coming from with this endeavor?
