John 8:5 (WEB)
Context Reading
3The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle, 4they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act. 5Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?” 6They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger. 7But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them,“He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.”
