John 8:1–11

¹And at dawn he came again to the temple, ²and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them; ³and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst, ⁴they say to him, ‘Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime—committing adultery, ⁵and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?’ ⁶and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground, ⁷and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, ‘The sinless of you—let him first cast the stone at her;’ ⁸and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground, ⁹and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders—unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. ¹⁰And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, ‘Woman, where are those—thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?’ ¹¹and she said, ‘No one, Sir;’ and Jesus said to her, ‘Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.’
