John 8:1-6

1 Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

2 Early the next morning he returned to the temple courtyard. All the people went to him, so he sat down and began to teach them.

3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught committing adultery. They made her stand in front of everyone

4 and asked Jesus, "Teacher, we caught this woman in the act of adultery.

5 In his teachings, Moses ordered us to stone women like this to death. What do you say?"

6 They asked this to test him. They wanted to find a reason to bring charges against him. Jesus bent down and used his finger to write on the ground.
