Only appearing in the Gospel of John, in Chapter 8, a woman is brought before Jesus as a test by the Pharisees (and scribes, per the account). The Pharisees bring a woman they accuse of adultery. Jesus ignores them initially, knowing they wished to trick him by his answers, but they continue prodding for an answer. In verse 7:
"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."
At this point, one by one, the crowd casting accusations leaves until only the accused woman and Christ remain. In verse 10:
"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?"
His response to her, and forgiveness, are extended in verse 11:
"She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more."
The above verses are from the King James version of The Bible. Different translations may slightly vary in text.
