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.

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

|
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."
|

|
And once more he bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.
|

|
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.
|

|
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."
