³ Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, ⁴ they said to Him, “Teacher, ^[a]this woman was caught in ^(A)adultery, in the very act. ^5 (B)Now ^[b]Moses, in the law, commanded us ^[c]that such should be stoned. But what do You ^[d]say?” ⁶ This they said, testing Him, that they ^(C)might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, ^[e]as though He did not hear.

⁷ So when they continued asking Him, He ^[f]raised Himself up and said to them, ^(D)“He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.”
