John 8:1-11

1But Jesus went to 1the Mount of Olives. 2And early in the morning He came again into the temple area, and all the people were coming to Him; and 2He sat down and began teaching them. 3Now the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in the act of adultery, and after placing her in the center of the courtyard, 4they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the very act of committing adultery. 5Now in the Law, 3Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?” 6Now they were saying this to 4test Him, 5so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground. 7When they persisted in asking Him, 6He straightened up and said to them, “7He who is without sin among you, let him be the 8first to throw a stone at her.” 8And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9Now when they heard this, they began leaving, one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman where she was, in the center of the courtyard. 10And 9straightening up, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?” 11She said, “No one, 10Lord.” And Jesus said, “11I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on do not 12sin any longer.”]]
