The experts in the law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught committing adultery. They made her stand in front of them and said to Jesus, "This woman was caught in the act of committing adultery. The law of Moses says to stone her to death. What do you say?" They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up and said, "All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone." Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust. When they heard this, they left one by one, starting with the older men, until only Jesus was left, with the woman standing there. Jesus stood up and said to her, "Where are they? Has no one condemned you?" She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "I do not condemn you, either. Go now, but leave your life of sin." John 8,3-11 |
