John 8:4-9

⁴And said to him: Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery.

⁵Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what sayest thou?

⁶And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground.

⁷When therefore they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

⁸And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground.

⁹But they hearing this, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, and the woman standing in the midst.
