John, Chapter 8 Vs 1-11
A Woman Caught in Adultery.
1Then each went to his own house,1while Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.* a2But early in the morning he arrived again in the temple area, and all the people started coming to him, and he sat down and taught them.3Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery and made her stand in the middle.4They said to him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery.5Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women.* So what do you say?"b6They said this to test him, so that they could have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with his finger.*7* But when they continued asking him, he straightened up and said to them,c "Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her."8Again he bent down and wrote on the ground.9And in response, they went away one by one, beginning with the elders. So he was left alone with the woman before him.10Then Jesus straightened up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"d11She replied, "No one, sir." Then Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go, [and] from now on do not sin any more."]
