John 8:1-11 (Revised Standard Version written, English Standard Version audio)

[1] but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

[2] Early in the morning he came again to the temple; all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.

[3] The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst

[4] they said to him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery.

[5] Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such. What do you say about her?"

[6] This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.

[7] And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her."

[8] And once more he bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.

[9] But when they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the eldest, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.

[10] Jesus looked up and said to her,"Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"

[11] She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and do not sin again."
