3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They said unto him, Teacher, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what say you?
6 This they said, testing 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.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up, and said unto them,
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And they who 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 before him.
