1 Iesus went vnto mout Oliuete. 2 And early in the mornyng he came agayne into the temple, and all the people came vnto hym, & he sate downe and taught them. 3 And the scribes and pharisees brought vnto hym a woman taken in adulterie, & when they had set her in the middes, 4 They sayde vnto hym: Maister, this woman was taken in adulterie, euen as the deede was a doyng. 5 Moyses in the lawe commaunded vs that suche shoulde be stoned: But what sayest thou? 6 This they sayde to tempte hym, that they myght accuse hym. But Iesus stowped downe, and with his fynger wrote on the grounde. 7 So, when they continued asking him, he lyft vp hym selfe, & sayde vnto them: Let hym that is among you without sinne, caste the first stone at her. 8 And agayne he stowped downe, and wrote on the grounde. 9 And when they hearde this, beyng accused of their owne consciences, they went out one by one, begynnyng at the eldest, euen vnto the last: and Iesus was left alone, & the woman standyng in the myddes. 10 When Iesus had lyft vp hym selfe, & sawe no man but the woman, he sayde vnto her: Woma where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condempned thee?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
They say unto him, Master,.... They applied to him in a handsome and respectful manner, the better to cover their ill design:
this woman was taken in adultery; by two persons at least, who could be witnesses of it; otherwise the accusation was not legal; see
Deuteronomy 19:15; though in the case of a wife suspected of adultery, they admitted a single witness as valid f:
in the very act; or "in the theft itself", for adultery is a theft; it is an unlawful use of another's property; see this word used in the same sense, in Heliodor, l. 1. sect. 11.
f Maimon. Hilchot Eduth, c. 5. sect. 2.
