tcent@John:7:45 @ The officers then went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, »Why did you not bring him?«

tcent@John:7:46 @ The officers answered, »No man ever spoke like this man!«

tcent@John:7:47 @ The Pharisees answered them, »Are you deceived, you also?

tcent@John:7:48 @ Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?

tcent@John:7:49 @ But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed.«

tcent@John:7:50 @ Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus before, and who was one of them, said to them,

tcent@John:7:51 @ »Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he is doing?«

tcent@John:7:52 @ They replied, »Are you from Galilee, too? Search and look, and you will find that no prophet is to rise out of Galilee.«

tcent@John:7:53 @ Then each went to his own house.

tcent@John:8:1 @ But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

tcent@John:8:2 @ Early in the morning he came again to the temple; all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.

tcent@John:8:3 @ Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought to him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst,

tcent@John:8:4 @ they said to him, »Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.

tcent@John:8:5 @ Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such. What do you say?«

tcent@John:8:6 @ They said this to test him, that they might have something of which to accuse him. But Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

tcent@John:8:7 @ And when they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, »Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.«

tcent@John:8:8 @ And again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

tcent@John:8:9 @ Then those who heard it went away one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last, and Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing before him.

tcent@John:8:10 @ Jesus straightened up and said to her, »Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?«

tcent@John:8:11 @ She said, »No one, Lord.« And Jesus said, »Neither do I condemn you; go, and sin no more.«
