The Woman Taken In Adultery
84. John 8:2-11
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.
