John 7:53-8:11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵³ And every man returned to his own house.

8 And Jesus went unto mount Olivet.

² And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and sitting down he taught them.

³ And the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman taken in adultery: and they set her in the midst,

⁴ And said to him: Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery.

⁵ Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what sayest thou?

⁶ And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground.

⁷ When 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.

⁸ And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground.

⁹ But they hearing this, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, and the woman standing in the midst.

¹⁰ Then Jesus lifting up himself, said to her: Woman, where are they that accused thee? Hath no man condemned thee?

¹¹ Who said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither will I condemn thee. Go, and now sin no more.
