John 8:1–11

¹But Jesus went to the mount of Olives. ²And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught them. ³And the scribes and the Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst, ⁴they say to him, Teacher, this woman has been taken in the very act, committing adultery. ⁵Now in the law Moses has commanded us to stone such; thou therefore, what sayest thou? ⁶But this they said proving him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus, having stooped down, wrote with his finger on the ground. ⁷But when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up and said to them, Let him that is without sin among you first cast the stone at her. ⁸And again stooping down he wrote on the ground. ⁹But they, having heard that, went out one by one beginning from the elder ones until the last; and Jesus was left alone and the woman standing there. ¹⁰And Jesus, lifting himself up and seeing no one but the woman, said to her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Has no one condemned thee? ¹¹And she said, No one, sir. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
