The story of the woman caught in adultery, often referred to as the Pericope Adulterae, is not found in the earliest and most reliable manuscripts of the Gospel of John (the Fourth Gospel). Additionally, in the manuscripts where it does appear, its location varies, indicating that it was likely added to the text at a later date.
