Historians and scholars agree that the story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery (John 8:1-11) is not authentic and was added decades later to the Gospel of John by scribes. The story was almost certainly added for the purpose of liberal ideology: if no one without sin can cast the first stone, then the message is that no one should punish or even criticize sinners. It is also clear from the writing style that this story was added later.<sup>2</sup>
