John 8:1-7

The Adulterous Woman

1 But Jesus went to ¹the Mount of Olives.

2 Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and ²He sat down and began to teach them.

3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court,

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

5 "Now in the Law ³Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?"

6 They were saying this, ⁴testing Him, ⁵so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground.

7 But when they persisted in asking Him, ⁶He straightened up, and said to them, "⁷He who is without sin among you, let him be the ⁸first to throw a stone at her."
