The Woman Caught in Adultery

This section tells the story of Jesus, the religious leaders, and a woman accused of adultery. The leaders try to trap Jesus with a difficult question about the law of Moses, but Jesus responds with wisdom and compassion. The event teaches about mercy, judgment, and the importance of self-examination before condemning others.

v. 1: Jesus went to the Mount of Olives (John 8:1 a). This was a place where he often prayed and found quiet.
