John Chapter 8
|

8:1
|
Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
|
|
|
|
|
8:2
|
And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
|
|
|
|
|
8:3
|
And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
|
|
|
|
|
8:4
|
They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
|
|
|
|
|
8:5
|
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
|
|
|
|
|
8:6
|
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
|
|
|
|
|
8:7
|
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
|
|
|
|
|
8:8
|
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
|
|
|
|
|
8:9
|
And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
|
|
|
|
|
8:10
|
When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
|
|
|
|
|
8:11
|
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
