John 8
1 Jesus went
unto the mount of Olives.
2 And early in the
morning he came again into the temple, and all the people
came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3 And the scribes
and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery;
and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say unto
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 lifted up himself, and said unto
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 which
heard it, being convicted by their own
conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest,
even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and
the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had
lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said
unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no
man condemned thee?
11 She said, No
man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn
thee: go, and sin no more.
