1 But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.

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

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

4 They say to him, Master, this woman was taken actually committing adultery.

5 Now Moses hath commanded us in the law, to stoee such.

6 What therefore sayest tou? This they spoke tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooping down, wrote with his finger on the ground.

7 And as they continued asking him, he raised himself and said to them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

8 Then stooping down again, he wrote an the ground.

9 But they who heard it, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10 Then Jesus raising himself up, and seeing none but the woman, said to her, Woman, where are thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee?

11 She saith, No man, Sir. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee. Go, and sin no more.
