John 8:1-11 - A Woman Caught In Adultery

¹ but Jesus went to the mount of Olives.

² And early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and, having sat down, He was teaching them.

³ And the scribes and the Pharisees bring to Him a woman taken in adultery; and, having placed her in the midst, ⁴ they say to Him, "Teacher, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. ⁵ Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such; what, therefore, dost Thou say?" ⁶ This they said, trying Him, that they might have whereof to accuse Him. But Jesus, having stooped down, was writing with His finger on the ground. ⁷ And, as they continued asking Him, He, having raised Himself up, said to them, "Let the sinless one among you first cast a stone at her."

⁸ And, again stooping down, He was writing with His finger on the ground. ⁹ And they, having heard it, were going out, one by one, from the eldest to the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst. ¹⁰ And Jesus, having lifted Himself up, said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"

¹¹ She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go your way; henceforth sin no more."]
