John 8:4-6

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁴ they said to him, ‘Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery. ⁵ Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?’ ⁶ They said this to test him, so that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.
