The Woman Caught in Adultery (JHN 7:53-8:11)

[7:53] [[They went each to his own house,

[8:1] but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

[8:2] Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.

[8:3] The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst

[8:4] they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery.

[8:5] Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?”

[8:6] This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.

[8:7] And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”

[8:8] And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground.

[8:9] 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.

[8:10] Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

[8:11] She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.”]]
