John 8:4-14

⁴they say to Him: “Teacher, we found this woman committing adultery, in the very act.

⁵Now in our law Moses commanded that such women are to be stoned; so what do you say?”

⁶They said this to test Him, so that they might have an accusation against Him. But stooping down Jesus began to write on the ground with His finger, taking no notice.

⁷But since they kept on asking Him, straightening up He said to them, “Let the one without sin among you throw the first stone at her.”

⁸And stooping down again He continued writing on the ground.

⁹Now upon hearing this, and being convicted by their conscience, they began to go out one by one, starting with the older ones down to the least. So only Jesus was left, with the woman in the center.

¹⁰So straightening up, and not seeing anyone except the woman, Jesus said to her: “Where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?”

¹¹So she said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said to her: “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now on don't sin any more!”

¹²Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying: “I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk around in the darkness, but will have the light of the Life.”

¹³So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about yourself; your testimony is not valid.”

¹⁴Jesus answered and said to them: “Even though I testify about myself, my testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I come from or where I am going.
