1 Jesus, porém, foi para o Monte das Oliveiras.
2 E pela manhã cedo tornou para o templo, e todo o povo vinha ter com ele, e, assentando-se, os ensinava.
3 E os escribas e fariseus trouxeram-lhe uma mulher apanhada em adultério;
4 E, pondo-a no meio, disseram-lhe: Mestre, esta mulher foi apanhada, no próprio ato, adulterando.
5 E na lei nos mandou Moisés que as tais sejam apedrejadas. Tu, pois, que dizes?
6 Isto diziam eles, tentando-o, para que tivessem de que o acusar. Mas Jesus, inclinando-se, escrevia com o dedo na terra.
7 E, como insistissem, perguntando-lhe, endireitou-se, e disse-lhes: Aquele que de entre vós está sem pecado seja o primeiro que atire pedra contra ela.
8 E, tornando a inclinar-se, escrevia na terra.
9 Quando ouviram isto, redargüidos da consciência, saíram um a um, a começar pelos mais velhos até aos últimos; ficou só Jesus e a mulher que estava no meio.
10 E, endireitando-se Jesus, e não vendo ninguém mais do que a mulher, disse-lhe: Mulher, onde estão aqueles teus acusadores? Ninguém te condenou?
11 E ela disse: Ninguém, Senhor. E disse-lhe Jesus: Nem eu também te condeno; vai-te, e não peques mais.
1 Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
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 Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the middle,
4 They say to him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what say you?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 So when 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 he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the oldest, even to the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the middle.
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those your accusers? has no man condemned you?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn you: go, and sin no more.
