It doesn't sound plausible, let alone godly.
The text in question appears in John 8. (References help, Ty).
John 8:1-11 where this tale appears doesn't show up in early manuscripts of the Greek Text. "The New Testament, Part 2" (Bart D. Ehrman). The story was considered a forgery until the Council of Trent (in the 19th century!) codified it. The RSV excluded the text and just put it in the footnotes. The NRSV put it back into the body of the text. . .
