'''Stoning''' was a form of [[capital punishment]] in use in the ancient [[Middle East]] and discussed in the [[Bible]] under the law presented in the [[Torah]]. By the time of the [[New Testament]], [[Jesus]] showed a different way when the [[Pharisees]] brought him a woman that should have been stoned under the law, but Jesus responded "Let he who is without sin throw the first stone." When her accusers left, Jesus would not condemn her either and told her "Sin no more".
