John 8:6-12

⁶They asked this question as a trap so that they could accuse him. If he said that they should not kill her, they would shame him for disobeying the law of Moses. If he said that they should kill her, they could accuse him to the Roman governor. But Jesus bent down and wrote something on the ground with his finger.

⁷While they continued to question him, he stood up and said to them, “Whichever one of you has never sinned can be the first one to start throwing stones at her.”

⁸Then he stooped down and wrote some more on the ground.

⁹After they heard what he said, those who were questioning him went away, one by one, the older ones first and then the younger ones, knowing they were all sinners. Finally only Jesus was there, along with the woman.

¹⁰Jesus stood up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one said you must die for your sin?”

¹¹She said, “No, sir, no one.” Then Jesus said, “I do not condemn you either. Go home now, and do not continue your sinful life any longer!”

¹²Jesus spoke to the people again. He said, “I am like a light MET for all the people in MTY the world. Just like a light reveals what has been in the darkness MET, I reveal God's truth to them. Those who walk in the darkness are unaware of what is around them. But those who become my disciples will always be aware of God's truth MET. They will have my light which shows them how to have eternal life.”
