John 8:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ They were asking this to ·trick [trap; test] Jesus so that they could have some ·charge [accusation] against him.

But Jesus ·bent over [stooped down] and started writing on the ground with his finger [^Cwe do not know what he is writing though there has been much speculation]. ⁷ When they continued to ask Jesus their question, he ·raised up [straightened] and said, “Anyone here who ·has never sinned [is guiltless; ^Tis without sin] can throw the first stone at her [Deut. 13:9; 17:7; comp. Lev. 24:14].” ⁸ Then Jesus ·bent over [stooped down] again and wrote on the ground.
