John 8: 1 – 11

¹And Jesus went unto mount Olivet. ²And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and sitting down he taught them. ³And the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman taken in adultery: and they set her in the midst, ⁴And said to him: Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery. ⁵Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what sayest thou? ⁶And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground. ⁷When therefore they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. ⁸And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground. ⁹But they hearing this, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, and the woman standing in the midst. ¹⁰Then Jesus lifting up himself, said to her: Woman, where are they that accused thee? Hath no man condemned thee? ¹¹Who said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither will I condemn thee. Go, and now sin no more.
