John 7:53-John 8:11 - The Woman Caught In Adultery

⁵³ And each man went to his house.

¹ But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.

² And at early morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. And having sat down, he taught them.

³ And the scholars and the Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery. And having stood her in the midst, ⁴ tempting, they say to him, Teacher, we found this woman committing adultery, in the act. ⁵ Now in the law, Moses commanded us such women are to be stoned. What therefore do thou say about her? ⁶ But they said this, trying him, so that they might have an accusation against him. But Jesus having stooped down, wrote on the ground with his finger, not pretending. ⁷ And when they continued asking him, after standing erect, he said to them, Let the innocent man of you first cast the stone at her.

⁸ And again having stooped down, he wrote on the ground. ⁹ And they, having heard and being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, having begun from the elder until the last. And Jesus was left behind alone, and the woman being in the midst. ¹⁰ And Jesus, after standing erect, and having seen no man but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those accusers of thee? Did no man condemn thee?

¹¹ And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee. Go, and henceforth sin no more.
