Papias (circa AD 125) refers to a story of Jesus and a woman "accused of many sins" as being found in the Gospel of the Hebrews, which may well refer to this passage; there is a very certain quotation of the pericope adulterae in the 3rd Century Syriac Didascalia Apostolorum; though without indicating John's Gospel.

Trijicon has been the subject of some criticism for inscribing a reference to a Bible verse address (JN8:12, referring to John 8:12) alongside the model numbers on their ACOG sights.
The title comes from the teaching of the Adulterous Woman in the Gospel of John, and is a hypercorrection of "let him who is without sin" (John 8:7, RSV).
The historical readings for the fifth Sunday of Lent in the Lutheran tradition are Genesis 12:1-3, Hebrews 9:11-15, John 8:46-59, and Psalm 43.
The title of the story is taken from John 8:3-11 - The Adulterous Woman, in which a mob brings an adulteress before Jesus for judgment, the usual punishment for adultery being death by stoning.
