The Woman Caught in Adultery (adulterae) is a New Testament passage (pericope) that relates a message of mercy and forgiveness balanced with a call to holy living have endured in Christian thought. Both "let him who is without sin cast the first stone" and "go, and sin no more" have found their way into common usage. The English idiomatic phrase to "cast the first stone" is derived from this passage. The passage has been taken as confirmation of Jesus's ability to write, otherwise only suggested by implication in the Gospels, but the original word in John 8:8 could mean "draw" as well as "write".
