St. John 8:1-11 "Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
But early in the morning he arrived again in the temple
area, and all the people started coming to him, and he sat down and taught
them.
Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had
been caught in adultery and made her stand in the middle.
They said to him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in
the very act of committing adultery.
Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So
what do you say?"
They said this to test him, so that they could have some
charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground
with his finger.
But when they continued asking him, he straightened up and
said to them, "Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to
throw a stone at her."
Again he bent down and wrote on the ground.
And in response, they went away one by one, beginning with
the elders. So he was left alone with the woman before him.
Then Jesus straightened up and said to her, "Woman,
where are they? Has no one condemned you?"
She replied, "No one, sir." Then Jesus said,
"Neither do I condemn you. Go, (and) from now on do not sin any
more."
