John 8:6 in Context — John 8
4 et, la plaçant au milieu du peuple, ils dirent à Jésus: Maître, cette femme a été surprise en flagrant délit d’adultère.
5 Moïse, dans la loi, nous a ordonné de lapider de telles femmes: toi donc, que dis-tu?
6 Ils disaient cela pour l’éprouver, afin de pouvoir l’accuser. Mais Jésus, s’étant baissé, écrivait avec le doigt sur la terre.
7 Comme ils continuaient à l’interroger, il se releva et leur dit: Que celui de vous qui est sans péché jette le premier la pierre contre elle.
8 Et s’étant de nouveau baissé, il écrivait sur la terre.
