John 8:1-11

1 Jesus went to the mount of Olives:
2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught them.
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery: and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say to him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned; but what sayest thou?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with [his] finger wrote on the ground, [as though he heard them not].
7 So when they continued asking him, he raised himself, and said to them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And they who heard [it], being convicted by [their own] conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, [even] to the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had raised himself, and saw none but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those thy accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
