(106) The Woman Caught in Adultery
John 8:1-11
Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. [2]Early in the morning He came again to the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them.
[3]Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had placed her in the midst of the crowd, [4]they said to Him, “Master, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. [5]Now in the law Moses commanded us that such a one should be stoned. But what do you say?”
[6]They said this to trap Him, so that they might have something to accuse Him with. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear them. [7]So when they continued asking Him, He straightened up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.” [8]Then He again stooped down and wrote on the ground.
[9]And those who heard this, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest. They all left. And Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing in the midst of the temple.
[10]When Jesus straightened up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are they, your accusers? Has no man condemned you?”
[11]“No one, Lord,” she said.
“Neither do I condemn you,” Jesus said to her. “Go and sin no more.”
(106) The Woman Caught in Adultery
John 8:1-11, KJV
Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. 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.
