The Pericope Adulterae or Pericope de Adultera is a traditional name for a famous passage about Jesus and the woman taken in adultery from verses 7:53-8:11 of the Gospel of John. The passage describes a confrontation between Jesus and the scribes and Pharisees over whether a woman, caught in an act of adultery, ought to be stoned. Jesus manages to shame the crowd into dispersing with the famous dare for anyone presumptuous enough to consider himself sinless to throw the first stone, coupled with some apparently embarrassing information written in the dirt, and averts the execution.Although in line with many stories in the Gospels and probably primitive , most scholars agree that it was "certainly not part of the original text of St John's Gospel."The English idiomatic phrase to "cast the first stone" is derived from this passage.
