But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2Early in the morning He went back into the temple courts. All the people came to Him, and He sat down to teach them.
3The scribes and Pharisees, however, brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before them
4and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
5In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. So what do You say?”
6They said this to test Him, in order to have a basis for accusing Him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with His finger.
7When they continued to question Him, He straightened up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”
8And again He bent down and wrote on the ground.
9When they heard this, they began to go away one by one, beginning with the older ones, until only Jesus was left, with the woman standing there.
10Then Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?”
11“No one, Lord,” she answered. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Now go and sin no more.”
12Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”
