  3. John 8:1–11 1Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery.

  4. They made her stand before the group 4and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.

  5. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger [as though he did not hear them]. 7When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

  6. 9At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first [being convicted by their own conscience], until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10Jesus straightened up and [seeing no-one except the woman] asked her, “Woman, where are they, [those who accused you]? Has no one condemned you?”

  7. 11“No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

  13. John 3:16–17 16“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
