John 8
[1] Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. … [3] And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery … [5] “Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?” …[7] he … said unto them, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” … [9] And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one … and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. [10] … he said unto her, “Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?” [11] She said, “No man, Lord.” And Jesus said unto her, “Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.”
