4 they said to him, "Teacher, this woman was taken in the very act of adultery.

5 In the Law Moses commanded to stone such. What do you say?"

6 This they said, testing him, to have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped over and wrote with his finger on the ground.

7 As they kept on questioning him, he lifted himself up and said to them, "Let the sinless one among you be the first to throw a stone at her,"

8 and again he stooped over and went on writing on the ground.

9 After hearing that, they passed out one by one, beginning with the older men, and he was left alone and the woman there in the center.

10 Jesus raised himself up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one sentenced you?"

11 She said, "No one, Sir." Jesus said, "Neither do I sentence you. Go. From now on sin no more."]
