John 8:1-7

1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

2 ¹Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and ²he sat down and taught them.

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

4 they said to him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery.

5 Now ³in the Law Moses commanded us ⁴to stone such women. So what do you say?"

6 This they said ⁵to test him, ⁶that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.

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