Jesus Prevents the Stoning of a Woman
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. |
