45 Then the temple police went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, Why did you not arrest him?
46The police answered, Never has anyone spoken like this!
47Then the Pharisees replied, Surely you have not been deceived too, have you?
48Has any one of the authorities or of the Pharisees believed in him?
49But this crowd, which does not know the lawthey are accursed.
50Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus* before, and who was one of them, asked,
51Our law does not judge people without first giving them a hearing to find out what they are doing, does it?
52They replied, Surely you are not also from Galilee, are you? Search and you will see that no prophet is to arise from Galilee.
[[53Then each of them went home,
81while Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him and he sat down and began to teach them.
3The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery; and making her stand before all of them,
4they said to him, Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery.
5Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?
6They said this to test him, so that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.
7When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.
8And once again he bent down and wrote on the ground.*
9When they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the elders; and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.
10Jesus straightened up and said to her, Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?
11She said, No one, sir.* And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn you. Go your way, and from now on do not sin again.]]*
