46 The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

47 The Pharisees answered them, “Are you led astray, you also?

48 Have any of the authorities or of the Pharisees believed in him?

49 But this crowd, who do not know the law, are accursed.”

50 Nicode’mus, who had gone to him before, and who was one of them, said to them,

2 Early in the morning he came again to the temple; all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.

3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in their midst

4 they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery.

5 Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such. What do you say about her?”

6 This they saidto test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.

7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”

8 And once more he bent down andwrote with his finger on the ground.

9 But when they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning withthe eldest, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.

10 Jesus looked up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, anddo not sin again.”
