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

⁵³ So each went to his own home.

¹ THEN Jesus went to the mount of Olives.

² But early in the morning he came again to the temple, and all the people came to him; and sitting down he taught them.

³ Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman caught in adultery; and placing her in the midst, ⁴ they say unto him, Master, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. ⁵ Now Moses in the law commanded, that such women should be stoned: therefore what sayest thou? ⁶ But this they said, trying to entrap him, that they might have ground of accusation against him. But Jesus stooping down, with his finger wrote on the ground. ⁷ Now when they continued questioning him, raising himself up, he said to them, Let the person who is sinless among you, first cast a stone at her.

⁸ And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground. ⁹ But when they heard him, and felt the conviction of their conscience, they slunk away one by one, beginning from the elders to the last: so Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing in the midst. ¹⁰ Then Jesus raising himself up, and seeing no person but the woman, said unto her, Woman, where are these thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

¹¹ She said, No man, Lord. Then said Jesus unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
