John
8: 2. At dawn he appeared again
in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around
him, and he sat down to teach them.
3.
The teachers of law and the Pharisees brought in a women
caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group
4. and said to Jesus,
"Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
5.
In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what
do you say?"
6.
They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a
basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to
write on the ground with his finger.
7.
When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and
said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let
him be the first to throw a stone at her."
8.
Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9.
At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the
older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman
still standing there.
10.
Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are
they? Has no one condemned you?"
11.
"No one, sir," she said. "Then neither do I
condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave
your life of sin."
