John Chapter 8
The woman taken in adultery. Christ justifies his doctrine.
8:1. And Jesus went unto mount Olivet.
8:2. And early in the morning he came again into the temple: and all the people came to him. And sitting down he taught them.
8:3. And the scribes and Pharisees bring unto him a woman taken in adultery: and they set her in the midst,
8:4. And said to him: Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery.
8:5. Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what sayest thou?
8:6. And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground.
8:7. When therefore they continued asking him, he lifted up himself and said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8:8. And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground.
