TextKJV

7:53 Καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, 8:1 Ἰησοῦς δὲ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὸ Ὄρος τῶν Ἐλαιῶν. 2 Ὄρθρου δὲ πάλιν παρεγένετο εἰς τὸ ἱερόν, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἤρχετο πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ καθίσας ἐδίδασκεν αὐτούς. 3 ἄγουσιν δὲ οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι πρὸς αὐτόν γυναῖκα ἐν μοιχείᾳ κατειλημμένην, καὶ στήσαντες αὐτὴν ἐν μέσῳ 4 λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, Διδάσκαλε, αὕτη ἡ γυνὴ κατείληφθη ἐπ’ αὐτοφώρῳ μοιχευομένη· 5 ἐν δὲ τῷ νόμῳ Μωσῆς ἡμῖν ἐνετείλατο τὰς τοιαύτας λιθοβολεισθαι· σὺ οὖν τί λέγεις; 6 τοῦτο δὲ ἔλεγον πειράζοντες αὐτόν, ἵνα ἔχωσιν κατηγορεῖν αὐτοῦ. ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς κάτω κύψας τῷ δακτύλῳ έγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν, μη προσποιουμενος. 7 ὡς δὲ ἐπέμενον ἐρωτῶντες αὐτόν, ἀνακυψας εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτοῦς, Ὁ ἀναμάρτητος ὑμῶν πρῶτος τον λίθον ἐπ’ αὐτὴ βαλέτω· 8 καὶ πάλιν κατω κύψας ἔγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν. 9 οἱ δὲ ἀκούσαντες και υπο της συνειδησεως ελεγχομενοι ἐξήρχοντο εἷς καθ’ εἷς ἀρξάμενοι ἀπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων, εως των εσχατων καὶ κατελείφθη μόνος ὁ Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἐν μέσῳ εστωσα. 10 ἀνακύψας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς και μηδενα θεασαμενος πλην της γυναικος, εἶπεν αὐτῇ, ἡ γυνὴ, ποῦ εἰσιν, εκεινοι οι κατηγοροι σου; οὐδείς σε κατέκρινεν; 11 ἡ δὲ εἶπεν, Οὐδείς, κύριε. εἶπεν δὲ αὕτη ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Οὐδὲ ἐγώ σε κατακρίνω· πορεύου, καὶ μηκέτι ἁμάρτανε.


7:53 And every man went unto his own house. 8:1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. 2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. 3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with [his] finger wrote on the ground, [as though he heard them not]. 7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9 And they which heard [it], being convicted by [their own] conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, [even] unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

This passage is retained in the KJV (Authorized Version) text. The text itself is essentially the same in Erasmus', Beza, Stephens, texts etc., and is known as the Textus Receptus ("Received Text"), or Traditional Text of the NT.

There are some minor differences between this and the Byzantine Text-type (Robinson/Peirpont), or the Majority Text (e.g. Hodges/Farstad) which is formed by collating the majority readings of surviving manuscripts.
