John 8:1-11
The Woman Caught in Adultery
1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
1:
2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
2:
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
3:
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
4:
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
5:
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with [his] finger wrote on the ground, [as though he heard them not].
6:
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
7:
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
8:
9 And they which heard [it], being convicted by [their own] conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, [even] unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
9:
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
10:
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
11:
