What the source reads — the earliest Greek manuscripts pass straight from 7:52 to 8:12 — the passage is absent, or floats to other locations.
What this version reads — the pericope adulterae — the woman caught in adultery, 'let him who is without sin cast the first stone.'
The most-disputed passage in the New Testament. Absent from the oldest and best manuscripts and unknown to the early Greek commentators, yet preserved in the Latin and Byzantine tradition and universally cherished. Kept in the KJV.
