In the most widely received editions of the New Testament, John 8.11 tells the story of how Jesus saved a woman caught in adultery from being stoned .

This passage has no fixed place in the ancient manuscripts. Some place it after Luke 21.38, others after John 7.36 or 7.52, or 21.24.

In any case, the story does not occur in any manuscript prior to the end of the fourth century.

S the story of the woman caught in adultery Let him without sin cast the first stone in the oldest manuscripts?

A few ancient manuscripts have omitted this passage. However, it does appear in the great majority of extant Greek texts.


Let him without sin cast the first stone in the oldest manuscripts?

No, the earliest surviving manuscripts of the Gospel of John lack the whole passage involving the woman taken in adultery. The first manuscript to contain it is the Codex Bezae, which dates from the late 4th or early 5th century. There are earlier references to the story, but none placing it in John's Gospel.


When did the passage about the adultress and 'he who is without sin cast the first stone' first appear in manuscript form?

AnswerThe oldest surviving Greek manuscript to contain the passage about the woman caught in adultery is a Latin/Greek document written in the late fourth or early fifth century. However, Papias, early in the second century, referred to a story of Jesus and a woman "accused of many sins" as being found in the Gospel of the Hebrews, and this may refer to an early version of this passage. Most scholars believe that the passage was not in the earliest manuscripts of John's Gospel, but there is some evidence that it occurred in some manuscripts of John's Gospel, in its present position, by the fourth century.

Is the story of the woman caught in adultery being saved from stoning by Jesus in the oldest manuscripts?

The story of the woman caught in adultery and saved by Jesus is not found in the oldest and most reliable manuscripts of the New Testament. It is widely believed to be a later addition to the Gospel of John, likely added in the 5th or 6th century. This passage is known as the Pericope Adulterae and is not considered part of the original text of the Gospel of John. Its absence in early manuscripts such as Papyrus 66 and Codex Sinaiticus raises questions about its authenticity.

Is the story of the woman caught in adultery in the oldest manuscripts of the Bible?

The Bible text was the subject of a process of evolution over a period of many centuries, and the story of the woman caught in adultery is an example of this process. It was not originally part of the Gospel of John (7:53-8:11) and is completely absent from the early manuscripts of John in Greek. There are no comments on it by the early Greek church writers on John in its first thousand years. In a few late copies where it actually appears, it is sometimes comes after 7:36 instead of where we now find it, or at the end of John, or even inserted into Luke (after Luke 21:38).
