Did Moses prescribe stoning for the adulterer and adulteress?

Well, not exactly. Deuteronomy 22:

20 But if the thing is true, that evidence of virginity was not found in the young woman, 21 Then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done an outrageous thing in Israel by whoring in her father’s house. So you shall purge the evil from your midst.

Case 1: Stone the wife who had no proof of virginity.

22“If a man is found lying with the wife of another man, both of them shall die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman. So you shall purge the evil from Israel.

Case 2: Kill the adulterers and adulteress.

23 “If there is a betrothed virgin, and a man meets her in the city and lies with her, 24then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones, the young woman because she did not cry for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbor’s wife. So you shall purge the evil from your midst.

Case 3: Stone the betrothed virgin and the man who had sex with her.

Case 2 is surrounded by two stoning offenses. I think there is a good chance that Case 2 also was punishable by stoning.

The Pharisees asserted stoning in John 8:

3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst 4they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. 5 Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?”

Leviticus 20:10
10 The man who commits adultery with another man's wife, he who commits adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress, shall surely be put to death.

The Pharisees asserted stoning in John 8:

You're wrong. An adulterer and adulteress are each already married to other people. Neither were assumed to be virgins. So the answer is YES, they are both killed.

You're wrong.

What exactly? Can you quote my words?
