John 8:7

The Woman Caught in Adultery

But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with His finger.7When they continued to question Him, He straightened up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”8And again He bent down and wrote on the ground.
