(the story so far: Jesus was teaching when he was brought an adultress.
Now read on ...)

008:004	They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery,
	in the very act.

008:005	Now Moses in the law commandeth us, that such should be stoned:
	but what sayest thou?

008:006	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.

008:007	So 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.

008:008	And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

008:009	And 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.

008:010	When 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?

008:011	She said, No man, Lord.  And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I
	condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

008:012	Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of
	the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness,
	but shall have the light of life.

Tune in again next, week when we'll hear Jesus say "verily, verily,
I say unto you".

(The pertinent bit is in Book 43: John).
