But Jesus stooped down, and with His finger wrote on the ground.G1161G5124G3004G3985G846G2443G2192G2723G846G1161G2424G2955G2736G1147G1125G1519G1093G4364G33617But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him [be the] first to throw a stone at her."G1161G5613G1961G2065G846G352G2036G4314G846G361G5216G906G4413G906G3037G1909G8468And again He stooped down, and wrote on the ground.G2532G3825G2955G2736G1125G1519G10939And when they heard it, they [began] to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst.G1161G191G2532G1651G5259G4893G1831G1527G756G575G4245G2193G2078G2532G2424G2641G3441G2532G1135G2476G1722G331910And straightening up, Jesus said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"G1161G2424G352G2532G2300G3367G4133G1135G2036G846G1135G4226G1526G1565G4675G2725G2632G3762G2632G457111And she said, "No one, Lord."
