When they heard this, they began to go away one by one, beginning with the older ones, until only Jesus was left, with the woman standing there.They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.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.And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst.

without condemning her. Let's read the account of John chapter 8 verses 1 through 11. I invite you to open your Bibles to John 8. I'll be reading from the New Living Translation. Beginning at John chapter 8 verse 1. Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives. But early the next morning he was back again at the temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them. As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd. Teacher, they said to Jesus, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say? They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. They kept demanding an answer. So he stood up again and said, All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone. …
Again, he stooped down and wrote on the ground, playing tic-tac-toe. At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first. I like that. The Bible's so good, isn't it? The older ones first. Why? Because when you're young, you think you're moral and righteous. The older you get, you're like, nah, I'm a mess. I got issues. So all the 60-year-olds left first, the 20-year-olds left last. 60-year-olds are like, I need Jesus. 20-year-olds are like, I am Jesus. and this those who heard began to go away one at a time and the older ones first until g only jesus was left and with the woman still standing there jesus straightened up again and asked her woman where are they has nobody condemned you no one sir she said well then neither do i condemn you Jesus declared, go now and leave your life of sin.

… And again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. And those who heard it being convicted by their conscience went out one by one, beginning with the oldest, even to the last. And Jesus was left alone and the woman standing in the midst. And when Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you? And she said, no one, Lord. And Jesus said to her, neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more. And then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life. He who has ears to hear the Word of God, let them hear it. You may be seated. Let us pray. And now, our Father, as we give attention to this passage so well known from the New Testament, so beloved in Thy church, for the way it bears witness to Your mercy and grace, we ask that You would grant understanding to us and to our lives.
