John 8:5

---

← John 8:4	John 8:5 (KJV)	John 8:6 →
They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.	Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?	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].
