The woman-caught-in-adultery passage condemns hypocritical condemnation and calls the woman away from sin.

John 7:53–8:11

^7:53And every man went unto his own house.

^8:1Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

^8:2And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

^8:3And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

^8:4They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

^8:5Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

^8:6This 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.

^8:7So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

^8:8And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

^8:9And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

^8:10When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

^8:11She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
