John 8:2-8

²Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them.

³The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,

⁴they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.

⁵Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”

⁶They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

⁷But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.”

⁸Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
