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

⁵³ And every man went to his own house.

¹ But Jesus went to the mount of Olives;

² and returned early in the morning into the temple, and all the people came to Him: and He sat down, and taught them.

³ And the scribes and pharisees brought to Him a woman taken in adultery; ⁴ and setting her in the midst, they said to Him, "This woman was caught in the very act, committing adultery. ⁵ Now Moses in the law has commanded us that such women should be stoned, but what sayest Thou?" ⁶ This they said to tempt Him, that they might have something to accuse Him of. But Jesus stooping down, wrote with his finger upon the ground. ⁷ And as they continued asking Him, He raised himself up and said unto them, "Let him that is without sin among you, first cast a stone at her."

⁸ Then He stooped down again and wrote on the ground. ⁹ But when they heard his answer, being convicted by their own conscience, they went out one by one, beginning at the elder, even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst of the people. ¹⁰ Then Jesus rising up, and seeing none but the woman, said unto her, Where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

¹¹ And she said, None, Lord. Then said Jesus unto her, Neither do I condemn thee, Go thy way and sin no more.
