John 8:2-11

The Woman Caught in Adultery

² _b Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and _c he sat down and taught them. ³ The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst ⁴ they said to him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. ⁵ Now _d in the Law Moses commanded us _e to stone such women. So what do you say?" ⁶ This they said _f to test him, _g that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. ⁷ And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, _h "Let him who is without sin among you _i be the first to throw a stone at her." ⁸ And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. ⁹ But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. ¹⁰ Jesus stood up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" ¹¹ She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, _j "Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on _k sin no more."]]
