Many Analysts of the Greek text and manuscripts of the Gospel of John have argued that it was "certainly not part of the original text of St. John's Gospel."[2] The Jerusalem Bible claims "the author of this passage is not John".[3] Leo the Great (bishop of Rome, or Pope, from 440–61), cited the passage in his 62nd Sermon, mentioning that Jesus said "to the adulteress who was brought to him, 'Neither will I condemn you; go and sin no more.'" In the early 400s, Augustine of Hippo used the passage extensively, and from his writings, it is also clear that his contemporary Faustus of Mileve (considered by many[according to whom?] to be a heretic) also used it.[citation needed] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3843.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3843.txt
