The Word Proclaimed - John 8:2-11 (NRSV)

Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him and he
sat down and began to teach them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman
who had been caught in adultery; and making her stand before all of them, 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. Now what do you say? They
said this to test him, so that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus
bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. When they kept on questioning
him, he straightened up and said to them, Let anyone among you who is without sin
be the first to throw a stone at her. And once again he bent down and wrote on the
ground.When they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the elders;
and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. Jesus straightened up
and said to her, Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you? She said, No
one, sir.And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn you. Go your way, and from now on do
not sin again.
