The Woman Caught in Adultery

2

and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;

3

and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,

4

they say to him, `Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime--committing adultery,

5

and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?'

6

and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,

7

and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, `The sinless of you--let him first cast the stone at her;'

8

and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,

9

and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders--unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10

And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, `Woman, where are those--thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?'

11

and she said, `No one, Sir;' and Jesus said to her, `Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.'
