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

³ And the scribes and the Pharisees bring [to him] a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,

⁴ they say to him, Teacher, this woman has been taken in the very act, committing adultery.

⁵ Now in the law Moses has commanded us to stone such; thou therefore, what sayest thou?

⁶ But this they said proving him, that they might have [something] to accuse him [of]. But Jesus, having stooped down, wrote with his finger on the ground.

⁷ But when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up and said to them, Let him that is without sin among you first cast the stone at her.

⁸ And again stooping down he wrote on the ground.

⁹ But they, having heard [that], went out one by one beginning from the elder ones until the last; and Jesus was left alone and the woman standing there.

¹⁰ And Jesus, lifting himself up and seeing no one but the woman, said to her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Has no one condemned thee?

¹¹ And she said, No one, sir. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
