John 8:2-12

2 Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and ¹He 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 ²Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?"

6 They were saying this, ³testing Him, ⁴so 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, ⁵He straightened up, and said to them, "⁶He who is without sin among you, let him be the ⁷first to throw a stone at her."

8 Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.

9 When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court.

10 ⁸Straightening up, Jesus said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"

11 She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "⁹I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on ¹⁰sin no more."]

Jesus Is the Light of the World

12 Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, "¹¹I am the Light of the world; ¹²he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life."
