The Woman Caught in Adultery
53 [fn]And [fn]each went to his own house. 8 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 [fn]Early in the morning he again went to the temple courts. All the people [fn]came, and he sat down and taught them. 3 Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought [fn]him a woman who had been caught in adultery. Making her stand before them all, 4 they said to Jesus, [fn]testing him, “Teacher, [fn]this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery. 5 In [fn]the law, Moses commanded us [fn]that such women should be stoned; what then do yoʋ [fn]say?” 6 (They said this to test him, so that they might have [fn]something to accuse him of.) But Jesus stooped down and wrote with his finger on the [fn]ground, taking no notice. 7 When they continued asking him, he [fn]stood up and said to them, “Let him among you who is without sin [fn]be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 And again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 When they heard this, they [fn]were convicted by their own consciences and began to go away one by one, starting with the older [fn]men. So Jesus was left [fn]alone, with the woman [fn]there before him. 10 Then Jesus stood up and [fn]saw no one but the woman. So he [fn]said to her, “Where are [fn]yoʋr accusers? Has no one condemned yoʋ?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus [fn]said, “Neither do I [fn]pass judgment on yoʋ; [fn]go and sin no more.”
