John 8:4-9

4“Teacher,” they said to him, “this woman was caught in the act of committing adultery.

5In the law Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?”

6They asked this to trap him, in order that they might have evidence to accuse him. Jesus stooped down and started writing on the ground with his finger.

7When they persisted in questioning him, he stood up and said to them, “The one without sin among you should be the first to throw a stone at her.”

8Then he stooped down again and continued writing on the ground.

9When they heard this, they left one by one, starting with the older men. Only he was left, with the woman in the center.
