1) The teachers of the law and Pharisees try to trap Jesus by bringing a woman caught in adultery and asking his judgment, according to Mosaic law of stoning her. 2) Jesus responds by writing in the dirt and challenging anyone without sin to stone her first. Convicted, they leave one by one. 3) When Jesus asks if any condemn her, she says no. He then says he does not condemn her either, but urges her to "Go and leave your life of sin."
