[53]Then each of them went home, [1]while 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 began to teach them. [3]The scribes
and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery; and making
her stand before all of them, [4]they said to him, "Teacher, this woman
was caught in the very act of committing adultery. [5]Now in the law Moses
commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" [6]They said this
to test him, so that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent
down and wrote with his finger on the ground. [7]When they kept on questioning
him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let anyone among you who is
without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." [8]And once again he
bent down and wrote on the ground.
[9]When they heard it, they went away, one by one,
beginning with the elders; and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing
before him. [10]Jesus straightened up and said to her, "Woman, where are
they? Has no one condemned you?" [11]She said, "No one, sir."
And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you.
Go your way, and from now on do not sin again."
