Tempting Jesus

John 8:1-11

And at day break again He went into the Temple and all the people were coming. And having sat down He taught them. And the Scribes and the Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery and having stood her in the midst, saying to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught, upon the very act, committing adultery. Now in the Law, Moses command to us such as these are to be stoned. Therefore, what do you say?” But they said this while tempting Him, in order that they should have to accuse Him. And Jesus while bending down wrote with the finger in the earth. And as He continued they kept asking Him. Having straightened up He said towards them, “The one among you without sin, let him cast the first stone upon her.” And again stooping down He wrote in the earth. And they, the ones hearing, also while being convicted upon the conscience, went out one by one, starting from the elder and ending with Jesus alone and the woman being in the midst.  And, after straightening up, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are those your accusers? Has no one condemned you?” And the [women] said, “No one, sir,” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.”
